As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them, Luk 22:4Act 23:6-9Act 6:12Act 5:24Act 5:262Ch 23:4-9Mat 22:23-24Mat 3:7 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. Act 17:181Th 4:13-14Act 24:14-151Co 15:12-201Co 15:232Co 4:13-14Act 10:40-43Act 13:45 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening. Act 5:18Act 16:19-24Mat 10:16-17Act 12:1-3Act 6:12Act 8:3Act 9:2Jhn 18:12 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand. Act 2:412Co 2:14-172Ti 2:9-10Php 1:12-18Act 28:24Jhn 12:24Gen 49:10Isa 45:24
In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem. Act 4:8Act 5:20-21Act 5:34Act 6:12Isa 1:10Luk 20:1Luk 22:66Luk 23:13 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest. Luk 3:2Jhn 18:24Mat 26:3Jhn 11:49Jhn 18:13-14 When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?” Mat 21:23Mrk 11:28Act 5:40Act 5:27-28Exo 2:14Jhn 2:181Ki 21:12-14Act 4:10
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel, Luk 12:11-12Mat 10:19-20Act 2:4Luk 21:14-15Act 4:31Act 7:55Luk 23:13Act 4:5 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, 1Pe 3:15-17Act 3:7Jhn 10:321Pe 4:14Jhn 7:23 may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him. Act 3:6Act 5:29-32Act 2:36Act 10:40-42Act 2:22-24Act 28:28Act 3:13-16Dan 3:18 He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’ 1 Psa 118:22-23Isa 28:16Mrk 12:10-12Mat 21:42-451Pe 2:6-8Eph 2:20-22Luk 20:16-18Zec 3:9 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!” Jhn 14:61Co 3:11Jhn 3:361Ti 2:5-61Jn 5:11-12Act 10:42-43Luk 24:47Mrk 16:15-16
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus. 1Co 1:27Jhn 7:15Mat 11:25Act 2:7-12Mat 26:73Jhn 18:16-17Mat 26:71Mat 4:18-22 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. Act 19:36Act 3:8-12Act 4:10Act 4:16Act 4:21 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, Act 26:30-32Act 5:34-42Mat 5:22 saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it. Act 6:10Jhn 12:18Luk 21:15Act 3:7-10Dan 8:5Dan 8:8Jhn 11:47-48Luk 6:10-11 But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.” Act 5:281Th 2:15-16Rom 15:18-221Th 1:8Act 5:242Ch 25:15-16Act 4:21Act 4:29-30 They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. Act 5:40Luk 24:46-48Act 5:20Act 1:8
But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves, Act 5:29Exo 1:171Co 10:151Ti 2:31Ki 22:14Jhn 7:241Ki 12:301Ki 14:16 for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.” Jer 20:9Act 22:151Co 9:16-171Jn 1:1-3Act 5:32Ezk 3:11Act 1:8Act 10:39-41
When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done. Act 5:26Luk 20:19Luk 20:6Luk 22:2Mat 21:46Mat 9:8Act 3:6-9Act 4:17 For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old. Act 9:33Jhn 5:5Act 3:2Jhn 9:1Luk 13:11Mat 9:20
Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 2Co 6:14-17Psa 119:63Psa 42:4Act 12:11-12Mal 3:16Pro 13:20Psa 16:3Act 1:13-14 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them; Exo 20:11Jer 32:17Neh 9:62Ki 19:15Jer 10:10-12Psa 146:5-61Th 5:16-182Ti 4:17-18 who by the mouth of your servant David, said, Psa 2:1-6Act 1:16Act 2:30
‘Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot a vain thing?
The kings of the earth take a stand, Psa 2:2Rev 17:12-14Dan 9:24Psa 83:2-8Act 10:38Heb 1:9Jol 3:9-14Luk 4:18
and the rulers plot together,
against the Lord, and against his Christ.’ 2 3
“For truly, 4 both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, Mat 27:2Act 4:30Luk 9:22Act 10:38Act 2:27Act 3:13-14Heb 7:26Isa 49:7 to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen. Act 2:23Gen 50:20Isa 46:10Mat 26:24Act 13:27-29Act 3:18Isa 53:10Luk 24:44-46 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness, Act 4:13Act 14:3Php 1:142Ti 4:17Act 28:31Act 4:312Ti 1:7-8Act 13:46 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.” Act 3:6Act 4:27Act 2:22Act 3:16Act 5:12Act 9:40-42Act 2:43Act 5:15-16
When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Mat 21:22Act 2:4Act 2:2Isa 65:24Act 16:25-26Jas 1:5Act 4:29Jhn 14:12
The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 1Co 1:10Eph 4:2-61Pe 3:8Jhn 17:21-23Php 2:1-22Co 13:111Co 12:12-14Act 2:44-46 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all. Jhn 1:16Act 1:22Act 1:8Act 4:30Mrk 16:201Th 1:5Luk 2:52Rom 15:18-19 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, Act 2:45Luk 12:33Luk 16:9Deu 2:7Luk 22:35Mat 19:21Mrk 10:21Psa 34:9-10 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
