Acts 5:27-32

27When they had brought them, they stood them 1before 2the Council. The high priest questioned them, 28saying, “We gave you 3strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and 4yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and 5intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” 29But Peter and the apostles answered, “6We must obey God rather than men. 30 7The God of our fathers 8raised up Jesus, 9whom you had 10put to death by hanging Him on a 11cross. 31 12He is the one whom God exalted 13to His right hand as a 14 15Prince and a 16Savior, to grant 17repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 32And we are 18witnesses 19of these things; and 20so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
