1 The apostles were still talking to the people, when some priests, the captain of the temple guard, and some Sadducees arrived.
2 These men were angry because the apostles were teaching the people that the dead would be raised from death, just as Jesus had been raised from death.
3 It was already late in the afternoon, and they arrested Peter and John and put them in jail for the night.
4 But a lot of people who had heard the message believed it. So by now there were about five thousand followers of the Lord.
