“And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?”
Acts 4:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 4:7
The council's question - 'By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?' - acknowledges the miracle while seeking to discredit its source. The Greek distinguishes 'power' (dynamis, inherent ability) and 'name' (onoma, authority). This inquiry mirrors Satan's strategy: admit the supernatural while attributing it to wrong source. Their question betrays fear - if Jesus' name heals, their crucifixion judgment was wrong.
