Acts 5:27-33

Acts 5:27-33 CSB

After they brought them in, they had them stand before the Sanhedrin, and the high priest asked, “Didn’t we strictly order you not to teach in this name?  Look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”  Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than people. The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus,  whom you had murdered by hanging him on a tree.  God exalted this man to his right hand as ruler and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.  We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit  whom God has given to those who obey him.” When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them.
