Acts 6:2-4

[2] The twelve apostles called the whole group of followers together. The apostles said to them, “It would not be right for us to give up our work of teaching God’s word in order to be in charge of getting food to people. 

[3] So, brothers and sisters, choose seven of your men who have a good reputation. They must be full of wisdom and the Spirit. We will give them this work to do. 

[4] Then we can use all our time to pray and to teach the word of God.”

Acts 5:40-42

[40] They called the apostles in again. They beat them and told them not to speak anymore using the name of Jesus. Then they let them go free. 

[41] The apostles left the council meeting. They were happy because they were given the honor of suffering dishonor for Jesus. 

[42] The apostles did not stop teaching the people. They continued to tell the Good News—that Jesus is the Messiah. They did this every day in the Temple area and in people’s homes.

Acts 5:34, 38-39

[34] But one member of the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, stood up. He was a teacher of the law, and all the people respected him. He told the men to make the apostles leave the meeting for a few minutes.

[38] And so now I tell you, stay away from these men. Leave them alone. If their plan is something they thought up, it will fail. 

[39] But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You might even be fighting against God himself!” The Jewish leaders agreed with what Gamaliel said.

Acts 5:31-32

[31] Jesus is the one God honored by giving him a place at his right side. He made him our Leader and Savior. God did this to give all the people of Israel the opportunity to change and turn to God to have their sins forgiven. 

[32] We saw all these things happen, and we can say that they are true. The Holy Spirit also shows that these things are true. God has given this Spirit to all those who obey him.”

[23] They said, “The jail was closed and locked. The guards were standing at the doors. But when we opened the doors, the jail was empty!”

[25] Then another man came and told them, “Listen! The men you put in jail are standing in the Temple area teaching the people.”

Acts 5:17-20

[17] The high priest and all his friends, a group called the Sadducees, became very jealous. 

[18] They grabbed the apostles and put them in jail. 

[19] But during the night, an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail. The angel led the apostles outside and said, 

[20] “Go and stand in the Temple area. Tell the people everything about this new life.”
