In Acts 3, Peter healed a lame man in the name of Jesus and preached the gospel by pointing to the power in Jesus' name. He preached that Jesus was the prophet foretold by Moses and that he needed to be listened to. Thousands converted to faith in Jesus.
But for their trouble, Peter and John were arrested. So in their defense, Peter preached another sermon to the religious authorities, this time calling attention to the name of Jesus yet again, but proclaiming that though they, the authorities, crucified Jesus, God raised him from the dead. Jesus is the cornerstone of God's plan. They rejected him...but God accepted him.
