Acts 4:1-4 - Peter And John Arrested

¹ As they were speaking to the [crowd of] people, the [Jewish] priests, the captain of the Temple [guard] and the Sadducees [i.e., a sect of the Jewish religion] approached them ² and were greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming that Jesus had been raised from the dead. ³ So, these [Jewish] leaders arrested Peter and John and put them in jail until the next day because it was [already] evening. ⁴ But many of the people who heard the message [of God] believed [in Jesus] and the number of men [alone] came to be about five thousand.
