Acts 4:8-13 NWT . . .Then Peter, filled with holy spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people and older men, 9 if we are this day being examined, on the basis of a good deed to an ailing man, as to by whom this man has been made well, 10 let it be known to all of YOU and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Naz·a·rene´, whom YOU impaled but whom God raised up from the dead, by this one does this man stand here sound in front of YOU. 11 This is ‘the stone that was treated by YOU builders as of no account that has become the head of the corner.’ 12 Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is not another name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.” 13 Now when they beheld the outspokenness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were men unlettered and ordinary, they got to wondering. And they began to recognize about them that they used to be with Jesus;

You want to know how he was made well. (10) You and all the people of Israel must understand that this man stands in your presence with a healthy body because of the power of Jesus Christ from Nazareth. You crucified Jesus Christ, but God has brought him back to life. (11) He is the stone that the builders rejected, the stone that has become the cornerstone. (12) No one else can save us. Indeed, we can be saved only by the power of the one named Jesus and not by any other person." (13) After they found out that Peter and John had no education or special training, they were surprised to see how boldly they spoke. They realized that these men had been with Jesus.

(11) Jesus is the one of whom the scripture says, 'The stone that you the builders despised turned out to be the most important of all.' (12) Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us." (13) The members of the Council were amazed to see how bold Peter and John were and to learn that they were ordinary men of no education. They realized then that they had been companions of Jesus.

Acts 4:8-13 CEV Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit and told the nation's leaders and the elders: (9) You are questioning us today about a kind deed in which a crippled man was healed. (10) But there is something we must tell you and everyone else in Israel. This man is standing here completely well because of the power of Jesus Christ from Nazareth. You put Jesus to death on a cross, but God raised him to life. (11) He is the stone that you builders thought was worthless, and now he is the most important stone of all. (12) Only Jesus has the power to save! His name is the only one in all the world that can save anyone. (13) The officials were amazed to see how brave Peter and John were, and they knew that these two apostles were only ordinary men and not well educated. The officials were certain that these men had been with Jesus.

Acts 4:8-13 LITV Then being filled of the Holy Spirit, Peter said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel, (9) if we are being examined today on a good work of an infirm man, by what this one has been healed, (10) let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in this name this one stands before you whole. (11) This One is the Stone counted worthless by you the builders, the One who has come to be into the Head of the Corner; Psa. 118:22 (12) and there is salvation in no other One, for neither is there any other name under Heaven having been given among men by which we must be saved. (13) But beholding the boldness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are untaught and uneducated men, they marveled. And they recognized them, that they were with Jesus.

Acts 4:8-13 BBE Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority, (9) If we are questioned today about a good work done to a man who was ill, as to how he has been made well, (10) Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well. (11) He is the stone which you builders had no use for, but which has been made the chief stone of the building. (12) And in no other is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we may have salvation. (13) Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.
