Peter and John were released. The religious court could not decide how to punish them for preaching about Jesus and healing in His Name, because the crowd was praising God for His greatness. To deny that God had healed the man might result in a riot, and reprisals from the Roman occupying forces. For the previously crippled beggar, to walk after forty years of having to be carried - it was a miracle. The worst the court could do was to issue more threats – even though the apostles had explained that they had to obey God and not the council (Acts 4:8-20).
