“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
— Acts 4:12 NKJV
This is one of the clearest and strongest statements of the exclusivity of salvation in Yeshua alone. There is no other name, no other way, and no other Savior.

Addressing the Sanhedrin
And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
(Acts 4:5-12 NKJV)
Short Explanation
Peter boldly declares before the Jewish rulers that salvation is found in no one else but Yeshua. This verse stands as a foundational truth of the gospel — there is only one name that saves.
