Here's the full text from today's scripture:
4:5 The next day their rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,
4:6 with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family.
4:7 When they had made the prisoners stand in their midst, they inquired, "By what power or by what name did you do this?"
4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders,
4:9 if we are questioned today because of a good deed done to someone who was sick and are asked how this man has been healed,
4:10 let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that this man is standing before you in good health by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead.
4:11 This Jesus is 'the stone that was rejected by you, the builders; it has become the cornerstone.'
4:12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved."
