Acts 4:1-7

1 While Peter and John were addressing the people, the priests, the chief of the Temple police, and some Sadducees came up,
2 indignant that these upstart apostles were instructing the people and proclaiming that the resurrection from the dead had taken place in Jesus.
3 They arrested them and threw them in jail until morning, for by now it was late in the evening.
4 But many of those who listened had already believed the Message - in round numbers about five thousand!
5 The next day a meeting was called in Jerusalem. The rulers, religious leaders, religion scholars,
6 Annas the Chief Priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander - everybody who was anybody was there.
7 They stood Peter and John in the middle of the room and grilled them: "Who put you in charge here? What business do you have doing this?"
