Quick answer
Peter declares plainly that the man was healed by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom they crucified but God raised. The cross and resurrection are pressed home to the rulers themselves.
Overview
Peter boldly confronts the council with their guilt in crucifying Jesus and God's vindication in raising him. He attributes the healing entirely to the risen Christ, leaving no room for any other explanation. This courageous declaration before the very men who condemned Jesus shows the heart of apostolic preaching: the crucified and risen Lord is the only source of healing and salvation.
