ACTS 4
Peter and John Arrested
1-2The teaching and preaching of Peter and John angered the priests, the captain of the temple police, and representatives of the Jewish sect of the Sadducees. They were furious that the people were being taught that in Jesus there is a resurrection from the dead. So while Peter and John were still speaking, the Jewish authorities came to the temple courts to oppose them. 3They had them arrested, and since it was already evening they kept them in custody until the next day. 4Yet there were many in the crowd who believed the message, bringing the total number of men who believed to nearly five thousand!
5The next day many Jewish leaders, religious scholars, and elders of the people convened a meeting in Jerusalem. 6Annas the high priest was there with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and others who were members of the high priest’s family. 7They made Peter and John stand in front of the council as they questioned them, saying, “Tell us, by what power and authority have you done these things?”
8Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, answered, “Respected elders and leaders of the people, listen. 9Are we being put on trial today for doing an act of kindness by healing a frail, crippled man? Well then, 10you and everyone else in Israel should know that it is by the power of the name of Jesus that the crippled man stands here today completely healed! You crucified Jesus Christ of Nazareth, but God raised him from the dead. 11This Jesus is ‘the stone that you, the builders, have rejected, and now he has become the cornerstone!’ 12There is no one else who has the power to save us, for there is only one name to whom God has given authority by which we must experience salvation: the name of Jesus.”
13The council members were astonished as they witnessed the bold courage of Peter and John, especially when they discovered that they were just ordinary men who had never had religious training. Then they began to understand the effect Jesus had on them simply by spending time with him. 14Standing there with them was the healed man, and there was nothing further they could say.
15So they ordered them to leave the room while they discussed the matter. Among themselves, they said, 16“What should we do with these men? Everyone in Jerusalem can clearly see that they’ve performed a notable sign and wonder—we can’t deny that. 17But to keep this propaganda from spreading any further among the people, let’s threaten them severely and warn them to never speak to anyone in this name again.”
18So they had them brought back in before the council, and they commanded them to never teach the people or speak again using the name of Jesus. 19But Peter and John replied, “You can judge for yourselves—is it better to listen to you or to God? 20It’s impossible for us to stop speaking about all the things we’ve seen and heard!”
