11 And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran to them to the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.

14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you.

15 But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

Peter Speaks to the Onlookers

It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.
