7When they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"

9if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well,

9If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed,

10let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead-- by this name this man stands here before you in good health.

10then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

11"He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone.

13Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.

13When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.

14And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply.

14But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.

15But when they had ordered them to leave the Council, they began to confer with one another,

16saying, "What shall we do with these men? For the fact that a noteworthy miracle has taken place through them is apparent to all who live in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

16"What are we going to do with these men?" they asked. "Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it.

19But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge;

19But Peter and John replied, "Which is right in God's eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges!

20for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard."

20As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."

21When they had threatened them further, they let them go (finding no basis on which to punish them) on account of the people, because they were all glorifying God for what had happened;

21After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened.

22for the man was more than forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.

24And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God with one accord and said, "O Lord, it is You who MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM,

28to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur.

28They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.

29"And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence,

29Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.

30while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus."

30Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus."
