but killed the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the dead, whose witnesses we are. And by the faith of his name, his name has made strong this man whom you behold and know, and the faith which is by him has given him this entire soundness before you all. And now, brothers, I know that you did it without knowledge, as did also your rulers; but what God had before declared by the mouth of all the prophets that his Anointed should suffer, he has so accomplished.

And hearing this they entered into the temple early in the morning and taught. And the chief priest coming, and those with him, called the Sanhedrim together, and all the eldership of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

And Peter answering, and the apostles, said, It is necessary to obey God rather than man.
