Acts 4:12,13 - Salvation is found in no one else

4:12

“Salvation is found in no one else”. This is as true now as it was then. The only way the Jewish religious leaders could be saved was by repenting and believing in Christ. They could rage all they wanted against Peter and John, it would get them nowhere. The same applies today. There is no other name by which we are saved, only by the name of Jesus Christ. For it is God who determines how we can be saved, not us.

4:13

The religious leaders saw the courage or the boldness of Peter and John. Just as an aside, these early chapters often have “Peter and John”, yet all the speaking comes from Peter. Just an observation. They were “unschooled”. This does not mean they were illiterate or stupid, but that they had not had any rabbinical training.The religious leaders were amazed at how well these two men responded. Then they noted that they had been with Jesus, perhaps this had something to do with it!
