Acts 4:15

Read in context

Acts 4:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

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

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

15 So they ordered them to leave the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.

16 “What shall we do with these men?” they asked. “It is clear to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has occurred through them, and we cannot deny it.

17 But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”
