    Verse 4

    ¶ "But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number, counting the men alone, grew to about five thousand." (Acts 4:4). 1. Hearing and believing. Some people interpret this to mean that faith alone is necessary to be saved. However Luke has previously recorded that "as many as received Peter’s word were baptized" (Acts 2:41).Instead of pitting Luke’s statements against each other, let's simply put them together.

    ¶ "Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, 'Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel: if we are examined today about a good deed done to a crippled man, and if the question is how this man has been healed; be it 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 —in him this man stands here before you in perfect health.' " (Acts 4:8-10). 1.

    ¶ " 'This Jesus is the stone that you, the builders, rejected. He has now become the head stone of the corner. There is salvation in nobody else —nor under heaven is there given among men any other name but this by which we must be saved' " (Acts 4:11-12). 1. Rejected stone.

    ¶ "When they saw the confidence of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. They recognized that these men had been with Jesus.

Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them. This can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. But so that this spreads no further among the people, let us warn them, that from now on they speak to nobody in this name.' " (Acts 4:15-17). 1. Sent them out.
