How

Then the commander of the temple guard went with the officers and brought the apostles without the use of force (for they were afraid of being stoned by the people).

They wanted to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowds, because the crowds regarded him as a prophet.

But they said, "Not during the feast, so that there won't be a riot among the people."

Jesus was teaching daily in the temple courts. The chief priests and the experts in the law and the prominent leaders among the people were seeking to assassinate him,

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

The chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find some way to execute Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.

For all

But Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, stand up and walk!"

After the demon was cast out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, "Never has anything like this been seen in Israel!"

As a result, the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.

Then astonishment seized them all, and they glorified God. They were filled with awe, saying, "We have seen incredible things today."

When he said this all his adversaries were humiliated, but the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things he was doing.

Because they had heard that Jesus had performed this miraculous sign, the crowd went out to meet him.
