Acts 4:1-6 ▼

1 Now as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

2 being greatly agitated because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3 And they laid hands on them and put them in jail until the next day, for it was already evening.

4 But many of those who had heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

5 Now it happened that on the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;

6 and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of high-priestly descent.
