arean, whom ye
crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand
here sound in your presence. (11)This is the stone which, though set at
nought by you builders, is become the head of the corner[30]. (12)And
there is no salvation in any other person: for there is no other name
under heaven given unto men, whereby we must be saved.

(13)Attentively regarding then the noble confidence of Peter and John,
and perceiving that they were men unlettered, and destitute of
education, they were astonished; and they recollected them, that they
had been with Jesus. (14)But seeing the man who was healed standing
with them, they had not a word to reply in contradiction. (15)But

them all things which the high-priests and elders had said. (24)Now
when they heard it, they lifted up their united voice to God, and said,
Lord, thou art the God which made the heaven, and the earth, and the
sea, and all things which are in them: (25)who by the mouth of David
thy servant saidst, Why do the heathen so furiously rage, and the
people meditate vain things? (26)The kings of the earth rose up, and
the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his
Messiah[31]. (27)For they have been in truth collected together against
thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius
