Acts 4:1-7

1While they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple police, and the Sadducees confronted them,

2because they were annoyed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

3So they seized them and took them into custody until the next day since it was already evening.

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

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

6with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all the members of the high-priestly family.

7After they had Peter and John stand before them, they began to question them: “By what power or in what name have you done this?”
