Acts 5:27-32

27 When they had brought them, they stood them before ¹the Council. The high priest questioned them,

28 saying, "We gave you ²strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and ³intend to bring this man's blood upon us."

29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "⁴We must obey God rather than men.

30 "⁵The God of our fathers ⁶raised up Jesus, whom you had ⁷put to death by hanging Him on a cross.

31 "⁸He is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a ⁹Prince and a ¹⁰Savior, to grant ¹¹repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

32 "And we are ¹²witnesses of these things; and ¹³so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him."
