Acts 4:9-11
New English Translation
9 if[a] we are being examined[b] today for a good deed[c] done to a sick man—by what means this man was healed[d]— 10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ[e] the Nazarene whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands before you healthy. 11 This Jesus[f] is the stone that was rejected by you,[g] the builders, that has become the cornerstone.[h]
