Acts 4:1-6

Peter and John Arrested

1 And [while] they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees approached them,

2 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 And they laid hands on them and put [them] in custody until the next day, because it was already evening.

4 But many of those who listened to the message believed, and the number of the men was approximately five thousand.
