Acts 5:27-33

27When they had brought them, they stood them before the council, and the high priest questioned them,

28saying, “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name. Look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood on us!”

29But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than people.

30The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus, whom you seized and killed by hanging him on a tree.

31God exalted him to his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

32And we are witnesses of these events, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.”

33Now when they heard this, they became furious and wanted to execute them.
