CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Acts 4

Peter and John are arrested because they teach the people and preach resurrection through Jesus. Before the rulers Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, declares that the healed man stands whole by the name of Jesus Christ and that salvation is in no other name. The council threatens them but cannot deny the miracle. Released, the believers pray for boldness rather than safety, are filled again, and share resources so needs are met.
