The religious leaders order Peter and John to stop preaching about Jesus.
Click here for an online Bible. Acts 4:13-22
The boldness of Peter and John amazed the high priests. They noticed two things. Peter and John were unschooled fishermen and they had been with Jesus.
The high priests were in a quandary. They wanted to put a stop Peter and John preaching about Jesus, but they had a healed lame man standing before them. They sent Peter and John out of the room so they could confer with each other. Not only did they have a healed lame man, but everybody in Jerusalem knew about it.
They ordered Peter and John not to preach about Jesus any more. Peter told them that they had to obey God rather than men. The religious leaders made some more threats. It doesn’t say what kind of threats, but I wonder if they reminded Peter and John what happened to Jesus a few weeks earlier.
