Acts 4:16 records the Sanhedrin's dilemma after seeing the healed man in Acts 4:14—they cannot deny the miracle.

Acts 4:21 shows the council releasing Peter and John, their decision influenced by the healed man's presence in Acts 4:14.

Acts 3:8-12 records the healing of the lame man; Acts 4:14 shows that same healed man standing with the apostles before the council.

Acts 3:10 describes the same healed man being recognized at the temple — this is the same event, now presented before the council as evidence.

In Acts 19:36, the town clerk uses similar logic: undeniable facts quiet the opposition. Both show opponents silenced by clear evidence.

In Matthew 22:46, opponents are silenced by Jesus' wisdom — the same 'nothing to say' phrasing as here, showing divine authority silencing critics.
