CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Acts 5

Ananias and Sapphira lie about the price of a voluntary property sale and die under immediate divine judgment. Apostolic signs continue, many believers are added, and the high priest’s party arrests the apostles. An angel releases them and sends them back to teach in the temple. Before the council Peter says, ‘We ought to obey God rather than men,’ and Gamaliel counsels restraint. The apostles leave rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer and continue teaching Jesus Christ daily.
