be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even in him doth this man stand here before you whole.

'BE IT KNOW UNTO YOU ALL, AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL'-'Peter wants everyone to know the source of the miracle...' (Reese p. 178)

'JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH'-the very same Jesus they had crucified.

'WHOM YE CRUCIFIED'-'Instead of the Sanhedrin placing Peter and John on trial, these apostles now put the Sanhedrin on trial.' (Boles p. 67) (Acts 2:23-24; Acts 3:15)

'DOTH THIS MAN STAND HERE BEFORE YOU WHOLE'-'in perfect health' (Wey). And how could the Sanhedrin contradict such an assertion? The man standing before them was cured, that was. fact! 'To deny the power was divine, would have been absurd in the estimation of all the people; and to have rejected the explanation given by those through whom the power was exerted, would have been not less so.' (McGarvey p. 71)
