Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
They were like, 'What are we supposed to do with these guys? Everyone in Jerusalem saw this incredible miracle they pulled off, and we literally can't pretend it didn't happen.'
Sometimes the truth is so obvious that even your haters can't deny it.
📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, this verse takes place shortly after Peter and John healed a man who had been lame from birth at the temple gate, which led to their arrest by the Jewish religious leaders. The Sanhedrin, the ruling council, was debating how to respond because the miracle was publicly witnessed by many in Jerusalem and could not be refuted, yet it threatened their authority by pointing to Jesus' resurrection. This event reflects the growing conflict between the early Christian movement and the established Jewish establishment in the first century.
