“"And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."”
Acts 4:12
Summary
In Acts 4, Peter and John are arrested after healing a man and proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus. Brought before the Sanhedrin, Peter boldly testifies to the power of Jesus, whom they crucified and God raised from the dead. The religious leaders, amazed by their confidence and the miracle, release them with a warning not to speak of Jesus. Returning to their community, the believers pray for boldness and are filled with the Holy Spirit. The chapter underscores the early church's unity and generosity, as they share everything in common and meet each other's needs.
