4:8Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

4:9If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

4:10Be 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.

4:11This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
