How

So the commander of the Temple guards went with his men to bring them back without force, because they were afraid of being stoned to death by the people.

Although they wanted to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, who considered Jesus to be a prophet.

But they kept saying, "This must not happen during the festival. Otherwise, there'll be a riot among the people."

Then he began teaching in the Temple every day. The high priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people kept looking for a way to kill him,

But if we say, "From humans,' all the people will stone us to death, because they are convinced that John was a prophet."

So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, because they were afraid of the crowd.

For all

However, Peter said, "I don't have any silver or gold, but I'll give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus the Messiah from Nazareth, walk!"

As soon as the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"

As a result, the crowd was amazed to see those who were unable to talk speaking, the crippled healed, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. So they praised the God of Israel.

Amazement seized all the people, and they began to praise God. They were filled with fear and declared, "We have seen wonderful things today!"

Even as he was saying this, all of his opponents were blushing with shame. But the rest of the crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things he was doing.

The crowd was going out to meet Jesus because they had heard that he had performed this sign.
