# What should we do with these men?
The Jewish leaders ask this question out of frustration because they could not think of what to do with Peter and John. Alternate translation: "There is nothing that we can do with these men!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
# For a remarkable sign has been done through them, and this is visible to everyone who lives in Jerusalem
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "For God has done a remarkable sign through them, and everyone who lives in Jerusalem has seen it" or "For everyone who lives in Jerusalem knows that they have done a remarkable sign" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
# sign
The miracle of healing was a sign that Peter and John were obeying God, who did the healing.
# everyone who lives in Jerusalem
This is a generalization. It may also be an exaggeration to show that the leaders think that this is a very big problem. Alternate translation: "many of the people who live in Jerusalem" or "people who live throughout Jerusalem" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]])
