Acts 4:1-7

1The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people.

2They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

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

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

5The next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem.

6Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and others of the high priest’s family.

7They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”
