S4:E7 - Acts 4:1-22 - Peter and John are arrested for speaking about Jesus

Send us a text

We start chapter 4 of the Book of Acts. We look at verses 1-22.  The religious leaders have Peter and John arrested for telling the crowd about Jesus after the healing of the crippled man at the Jewish Temple.  Peter, who once was afraid of the religious leaders, but who is now empowered by the Holy Spirit, boldly tells the religious leaders that they killed Jesus. He tells them that God raised Jesus from the dead and the crippled man was healed by the power of Jesus.   The religious leaders warn Peter and John not to speak or teach about Jesus again. Peter and John respond to their threat by asking them, "Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him?"  Peter and John say that they will not stopping talking about Jesus.  Although Peter and John tell the religious leaders this, they release Peter and John because Peter and John had not done anything illegal.  And because the religious leaders were afraid of the people because the people knew the healing of the man who had been crippled for 40 years was a miracle.
