Peter and the other apostles answered, “We must obey God, not men.

And every day in the Temple and in people's homes they continued to teach and preach the Good News about Jesus the Messiah.

Peter said to him, “Ananias, why did you let Satan take control of you and make you lie to the Holy Spirit by keeping part of the money you received for the property? Before you sold the property, it belonged to you; and after you sold it, the money was yours. Why, then, did you decide to do such a thing?

You could find yourselves fighting against God!” The Council followed Gamaliel's advice.
