Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Peter Responds: God Raised Jesus As The Savior of Israel. We Are Witnesses

²⁷And having brought them, they stood them in the council^[a] [chamber]. And the high priest questioned them, ²⁸saying, “Did we not command you with a command not to be teaching on the basis of this name? And behold— you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching. And you intend^[b] to bring the blood of this man upon us”. ²⁹But having responded, Peter and the apostles said, “It-is-necessary to obey God rather than people. ³⁰The God of our fathers raised Jesus— Whom you murdered, having hung Him on a cross. ³¹God exalted this One to His right hand as Leader^[c] and Savior, that He might grant repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. ³²And we are witnesses of these things. And so is the Holy Spirit, Whom God gave to the ones obeying Him”.
