And Peter answering, and the apostles, said, It is necessary to obey God rather than man. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you took and hung on a cross; him has God exalted, a Prince and Saviour at his right hand, to give a change of mind to Israel and the forgiveness of sins. read more.
And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit which God has given to those that obey him.

And calling them, they charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge; for we cannot but tell what we have seen and heard.
And the chief priests accused him of many things. And Pilate again asked him saying, Do you answer nothing? see how many things they charge against you. And Jesus answered him not any more; so that Pilate wondered.
Then Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel, if we are to-day examined concerning the good work done to the sick man, by what means he has been cured, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazoraean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him has this man stood before you sound. read more.
This is the stone rejected by you builders, which has become the head of a corner. And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name given under heaven among men, by which we can be saved.

And the chief priest said, Are these things then so? And he said, Men, brothers, and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, and said to him, Go out from your country and your kindred, and come to a land which I will show you. read more.
Then going out from the land of the Chaldeans, he lived in Haran. And thence, after the death of his father, he removed into this land in which you now live. And [God] gave him no inheritance in it, not the breadth of a foot, and promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his posterity after him, when as yet he had no son. And God said thus; that his posterity should be a stranger in a foreign land, and they shall enslave it and treat it injuriously four hundred years; and the nation which they shall serve will I judge, said God, and after that they shall come forth and serve me in this place. And he gave him the ordinance of circumcision; and so he begat Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs. And the patriarchs envying Joseph sold him into Egypt; and God was with him and delivered him from all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and [he] made him governor over Egypt and all his house. And there came a famine on all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no provisions. But Jacob hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent our fathers the first time; and the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family was made known to Pharaoh. And Joseph sent and called for his father Jacob, and all the family of seventy-five souls. And Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, he and our fathers; and they carried him back to Shechem and buried him in the tomb which Abraham bought for money of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem. But when the time of the promise which God made with an oath to Abraham was at hand, the people increased and became numerous in Egypt, till another king arose who knew not Joseph. This [king] dealt deceitfully with our race, and treated injuriously our fathers, causing their infants to be exposed that they might not be preserved alive. At that time Moses was born, and was beautiful in the sight of God, and was nourished three months in his father's house; but being exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up and nourished him as her own son. And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in his words and works. And when he was forty years old, it came into his mind to visit his brothers, the children of Israel. And seeing one injured he defended him, and executed judgment for the oppressed, smiting the Egyptian. And he thought his brothers would understand that God would give them salvation by his hand; but they understood not. On the following day also he showed himself to them as they contended, and urged them to peace, saying, Men, you are brothers; why do you injure one another? But he that injured his neighbor repelled him, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Will you kill me as you did the Egyptian, yesterday? And Moses fled at that saying, and lived a stranger in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons. And forty years being completed there appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, an angel in a flame of fire, in a bush. And Moses seeing it, wondered at the sight; and coming near to look at it, there was a voice of the Lord, I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And Moses being afraid dared not look at it. And the Lord said to him, Put off your shoes from your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy ground. I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and have come down to deliver them; and now come, I will send you to Egypt. This is the Moses whom they denied, saying, Who made you a ruler and a judge? Him did God send to be a ruler and a redeemer by the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush. This man brought them out, having performed prodigies and miracles in Egypt, and at the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years. This is the Moses who said to the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up for you, of your brothers, like me. This is he that was with the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received the living oracles to give us, whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him away and turned back in their hearts to Egypt, saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us; for this Moses who led us up out of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him. And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands. And God turned and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets; Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me forty years in the wilderness, house of Israel, and take up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of the god Rephan, figures which you made to worship? I will even remove you beyond Babylon. Our fathers in the wilderness received the tabernacle of the testimony, as he that spoke to Moses charged him to make it according to the pattern which he had seen; which also our fathers receiving it in succession brought with Joshua into the possession of the nations, whom God expelled before the face of our fathers till the days of David; who found favor with God and desired to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. And Solomon built him a house. But the Most High dwells not in [temples] made with hands, as the prophet says; Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool; what house will you build me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? has not my hand made all these things? Stiff necked, and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always fight against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, you also do. Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you now have become betrayers and murderers, who have received the law by orders of angels and have not kept it. And when they heard these things they were enraged in their minds and gnashed their teeth upon him. But he being full of the Holy Spirit, looking steadily to heaven saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

And Paul looking steadily at the Sanhedrim, said, Men and brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience to this day. And the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by to strike him on the mouth. Then Paul said to him, God is about to strike you, whitewashed wall; and do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law? read more.
And those standing by said, Do you revile God's chief priest? And Paul said, I knew not brothers that he was a chief priest; for it is written, You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people. And Paul knowing that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, cried in the Sanhedrim, Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee and the son of Pharisees; for the hope and resurrection of the dead am I under trial. And having said this, there was a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the multitude were divided.

THEN they led him from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. And it was morning; and they entered not into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.

Then Pilate went into the Praetorium and called Jesus, and said to him, Are you the king of the Jews? Jesus answered, Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you of me?

Self-defense » Accused persons heard in
And the procurator making a sign to him to speak, Paul answered, Knowing that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I shall defend myself cheerfully, you being able to know that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem. And they did not find me in the temple disputing with any one, or making a disturbance of the multitude, neither in the synagogues nor in the city; read more.
neither can they prove the things of which they now accuse me. But this I confess to you, that in the way which they call a heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers; believing all things written in the law and the prophets, having a hope in God which they also hold, that there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and wicked. And in this also I endeavor always to have a conscience without offense towards God and man. But after many years I came to bring charities and offerings to my nation, in which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a multitude, nor with a tumult, who ought to be present and accuse me before you, if they have any thing against me. Or let them say whether they found any unrighteousness in me when I stood before the Sanhedrim, except in this one statement which I made, as I stood among them, that I am under trial by you to-day concerning the resurrection of the dead.
