  1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,

  2 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

  3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.

  4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

  5 In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.

  6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.

  7 When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”

  8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

  9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,

  10 may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.

- Gospel

  John 3:16–21

  **Show the text**

  16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

  17 For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

  18 He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn’t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.

  19 This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

  20 For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

  21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”
