Acts 4:1-6

Peter and John Before the Council

1 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and ¹the captain of the temple and ²the Sadducees came upon them,

2 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming ³in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 And they arrested them and ⁴put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

4 But many of those who had heard the word believed, and ⁵the number of the men came to about five thousand.

5 On the next day their rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,

6 with ⁶Annas the high priest and ⁷Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family.
