Peter said, “there is salvation in no one else” (Acts 4:12). He added that there is no other name under heaven given among men by which people must be saved (Acts 4:12).
In Acts 4:8–12 Peter answers Israel’s leaders about the healed man by naming the source of the healing. He says the man stands restored because of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Peter contrasts the leaders’ rejection of Jesus with God’s action in raising him from the dead. He then quotes Scripture about a rejected stone becoming the key stone. This speech sits inside a conflict scene that follows a public healing that draws attention and questions from authorities. Peter is responding directly to an inquiry about “by what means” the crippled man was made well, so his words work like a public explanation and a challenge to the decision-makers.
Peter answers a formal inquiry about how a disabled man was restored.
A careful answer keeps the immediate passage, the book's argument, and the whole-Bible storyline together, so the question is answered in context instead of as a detached idea.
Start with Acts 4:12, then read the surrounding section so the answer stays connected to the passage's flow.
12There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, in which we must be saved!"
