Pamphlet #4517
Acts 5:17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were
with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the
common prison.
19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors,
and brought them forth, and said,
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words
of this life.
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early
in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were
with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children
of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison,
they returned, and told,
23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and
the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened,
we found no man within.
24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and
the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this
would grow.
25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom
ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them
without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been
stoned.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council:
and the high priest asked them,
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not
teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine,
and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought
to obey God rather than men.
30 The
God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
31 Him
hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for
to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins
My
highlighted verses:Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things;
and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath
given to them that obey him.
The Holy Spirit of Jesus has been given to us that obey him.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
