Acts 4:1-6 ▼

1 While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

2 greatly disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

3 They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day.

4 But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.

5 The next day the rulers, elders, and scribes assembled in Jerusalem,

6 along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others from the high priest’s family.
