1 While Peter and John were speaking to the people, a group of men came up to them. There were Jewish priests, the captain of the soldiers that guarded the Temple, and some Sadducees.
2 They were upset because the two apostles were teaching the people. Peter and John were preaching that people will rise from death through the power of Jesus.
3 The Jewish leaders grabbed Peter and John and put them in jail. It was already night, so they kept them in jail until the next day.
4 But many of those who heard Peter and John preach believed the things they said. There were now about 5,000 men in the group of believers.
5 The next day the Jewish rulers, the Jewish elders, and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem.
