A plain-English look at Acts 4:10 in WEB alongside six other public-domain English translations, with cross-references and chapter context.
What Acts 4:10 means
Peter boldly declared to the entire council and all Israel that the lame man was made whole exclusively "in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth." He explicitly identified Jesus as the one whom the Sanhedrin themselves had crucified, but whom God had powerfully raised from the dead. This direct accusation coupled with the affirmation of Christ's resurrection underscored Jesus' divine power and authority, even demonstrating His victory over death.

This declaration is pivotal, moving from the miracle itself to the identity and resurrection of Jesus, thereby challenging the council's authority and belief system head-on.
