New International Version

²⁷The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin^(A) to be questioned by the high priest. ²⁸“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,”^(B) he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”^(C)

²⁹Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!^(D) ³⁰The God of our ancestors^(E) raised Jesus from the dead^(F)—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.^(G) ³¹God exalted him to his own right hand^(H) as Prince and Savior^(I) that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.^(J) ³²We are witnesses of these things,^(K) and so is the Holy Spirit,^(L) whom God has given to those who obey him.”

New American Standard Bible

²⁷When they had brought them, they had them stand ^[a]before ^(A)the Council. The high priest interrogated them, ²⁸saying, “We gave you ^(B)strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and ^[b]yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and ^(C)intend to bring this Man’s blood upon us.” ²⁹But Peter and the apostles answered, “^(D)We must obey God rather than men. ³⁰^(E)The God of our fathers ^(F)raised up Jesus, whom you ^(G)put to death by hanging Him on ^[c]^(H)a cross. ³¹^(I)He is the one whom God exalted ^[d]to His right hand as a ^[e]^(J)Prince and a ^(K)Savior, to grant ^(L)repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. ³²And we are ^(M)witnesses ^[f]of these things; and ^(N)so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
