11 Namna alivyokuwa amewashikilia Petro na Yohana, watu wote kwa pamoja wakakimbilia kwenye ukumbi uitwao wa Sulemani, wakishangaa sana.
12 Petro alipoliona hili, yeye akawajibu watu, “Enyi watu wa Israel, kwa nini mnashangaa? Kwa nini mnayaelekeza macho yenu kwetu, kama kwamba tumemfanya huyu atembee kwa nguvu zetu wenyewe au uchaji wetu?.”
13 Mungu wa Ibrahimu, na wa Isaka, na wa Yakobo, Mungu wa Baba zetu, amemtukuza mtumishi wake Yesu. Huyu ndiye ambaye ninyi mlimkabidhi na kumkataa mbele ya uso wa Pilato, japo yeye alikuwa ameamua kumwachia huru.
