himself, she looked closely at him “You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus,” she said. But he denied it. “I don’t know or understand what you’re talking about,” he said, and went out into the entryway.

stands before you healed. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which

we must be saved.”

Acts 4:5, 7-8a, 10b
