8 Then Peter, filled with the holy Spirit, answered them, “Leaders of the people and elders:(A) 9 If we are being examined today about a good deed done to a cripple, namely, by what means he was saved, 10 then all of you and all the people of Israel should know that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead; in his name this man stands before you healed. 11 (B)He is ‘the stone rejected by you,[a] the builders, which has become the cornerstone.’ 12 [b](C)There is no salvation through anyone else, nor is there any other name under heaven given to the human race by which we are to be saved.”

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
