Ac 4:7 Set them in the midst. The high priest acted as president, and the members were arranged in a semi-circle around him, with the prisoners in front. By what power, or by what name? They could not deny the miracle, but they thought that it had been done by some incantation. They ask an explanation.
And when they had set them in the middest, they asked, By what power, or by what name haue ye done this?
