Acts 5:29-32

29 Peter and the other apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than people.

30 You murdered Jesus by hanging him on a cross. But the God of our ancestors brought him back to life.

31 God used his power to give Jesus the highest position as leader and savior. He did this to lead the people of Israel to him, to change the way they think and act, and to forgive their sins.

32 We are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
