Acts 4:1-6

1 While Peter and John were speaking to the peo- ple, Jewish priests, the captain of the soldiers that guarded the Temple, and Sadducees came up to them.
2 They were upset because the two apostles were teaching the people and were preaching that people will rise from the dead through the power of Jesus.
3 The Jewish leaders grabbed Peter and John and put them in jail. Since it was already night, they kept them in jail until the next day.
4 But many of those who had heard Peter and John preach believed the things they said. There were now about five thousand in the group of believers.
5 The next day the Jewish rulers, the older Jewish leaders, and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem.
6 Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander were there, as well as everyone from the high priest's family.
