Acts 4:21

²⁶Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

⁸But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

⁶But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”

¹⁹The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

⁴⁶When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.

²The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people.

²⁶Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

⁶But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!” ⁷He took him by the right hand and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength. ⁸Leaping up, he stood and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God. ⁹All the people saw him walking and praising God.

¹⁸For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign. ¹⁹The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”

⁴⁰They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
