SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:14
Y viendo al hombre que había sido sanado, que estaba con ellos, no podían decir nada en contra.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 4:14
Verse 14. They could say nothing against it.] They could not gainsay the apostolic doctrine, for that was supported by the miraculous fact before them. If the doctrine be false, the man cannot have been miraculously healed: if the man be miraculously healed, then the doctrine must be true that it is by the name of Jesus of Nazareth that he has been healed. But the man is incontestably healed; therefore the doctrine is true.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And beholding the man which was healed , etc.] Who either was taken into custody, and brought before the sanhedrim, along with the apostles; or rather, who came here of his own accord to be witness for them: for he was standing with them ; in company with them, and close by them, and on their side; and so they could, and did point and appeal unto him, who was ready to justify, that it was not by the use of medicine, or of magic art, or in the name of Satan or Beelzebub, but by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, that his cure was wrought: they could say nothing against it ; they could not gainsay the fact, for the man was before them, perfectly well, whom they personally knew, by his lying so long at the gate of the temple; they knew that he had been lame from his mothers womb, who was now above forty years of age; and they could say nothing against the manner of his cure, who was present to attest it; nor could they say anything against them; the apostles, as the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read; they could not blame them for doing it, it being a good deed, nor charge them with fraud and imposture.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-14 - Peter being filled with the Holy Ghost, would have all to understand that the miracle had been wrought by the name, or power, of Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, whom they had crucified; and this confirme their testimony to his resurrection from the dead, which proved him to be the Messiah. These rulers must either be saved by that Jesus who they had crucified, or they must perish for ever. The name of Jesus is given to men of every age and nation, as that whereby alone believer are saved from the wrath to come. But when covetousness, pride, or an corrupt passion, rules within, men shut their eyes, and close their hearts, in enmity against the light; considering all as ignorant an unlearned, who desire to know nothing in comparison with Chris crucified. And the followers of Christ should act so that all wh converse with them, may take knowledge that they have been with Jesus That makes them holy, heavenly, spiritual, and cheerful, and raise them above this world.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
4:14 {They could say nothing against it} (ouden eicon anteipein). Imperfect again, they kept on having nothing to say against it. The lame man was standing there before their eyes in proof of what Peter had said.
