The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

4:13¶ Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

4:14And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

4:15But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

4:16Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

4:17But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

4:18And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

4:19But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

4:20For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

4:21So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

4:22For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
