Acts 4:5-12 (NRSV)
Fourth Sunday of Easter
The next day their rulers,
elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem, with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas,
John, and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. When they
had made the prisoners stand in their midst, they inquired, "By what
power or by what name did you do this?" Then Peter, filled with the
Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders, if we are
questioned today because of a good deed done to someone who was sick and
are asked how this man has been healed, let it be known to all of you, and
to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good
health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom
God raised from the dead. This Jesus is
'the
stone that was rejected by you, the builders;
it
has become the cornerstone.'
There is salvation in no one else, for there
is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved."
