Acts 4:12

Acts 4:12

10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, ^athat by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, ^bwhom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.

11 This is the ^a‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’

12 ^aNor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

The Name of Jesus Forbidden

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, ^aand perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

14 And seeing the man who had been healed ^astanding with them, they could say nothing against it.

15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

16 saying, ^a“What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a¹ notable miracle has been done through them is ^bevident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Acts 4:11

Acts 4:13 >>

There is no other name whereby we must he saved - The apostle uses a beautiful gradation, from the temporal deliverance which had been wrought for the poor cripple, by the power of Christ, to that of a much nobler and more important kind, which is wrought by Christ for impotent and sinful souls. He therein follows the admirable custom of his great Lord and Master, who continually took occasion from earthly to speak of spiritual things.
