1. These men have been with Jesus (13)

Peter and John were country boys without much formal education. They were ordinary men. But their courage was extraordinary. The Jewish leaders were astounded by them. What made them special? It was not the way they dressed or spoke. It was the fact that they had been with Jesus. The religious leaders took note of this.

2. They decided to obey God (14-22)

The Sanhedrin didn't know what to do. A crippled man had been healed, everyone was praising God, and the gospel of Jesus was spreading. They had to put a stop to it. They commanded Peter and John to stop speaking in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John could not stop. They couldn't help talking about what they had seen and heard. They asked these religious leaders a counter question: 'Is it right in God's sight to obey you or God?'

Application: Lord, help me to spend time with Jesus every day so that I can obey you and boldly speak and teach your word of truth.
One Word: They had been with Jesus
