We continue our study of Acts chapter 5. We look at verses 17-33. We examine that the apostles are arrested once again for teaching the people about Jesus, repentance, and forgiveness of sin. An angel breaks them out of jail before they are tried before the religious leaders' high council. The angel instructs them to return to the temple to continue to teach about Jesus. The high council does not know that the apostles are gone until after they send the temple guards to bring them to court. To the temple guards' surprise, the apostles are no longer in the jail although the jail's locks have not been tampered with, and the other guards have been there the whole time. They report this to the high council. While this is being reported to the high council, the high council gets startling news that the apostles that they had arrested are back at the temple teaching about Jesus. The apostles again are arrested and brought before the high council. The high council confronts the apostles about disobeying its order not to teach about Jesus. Peter replies that they have to obey God and not them. Peter explains how the religious leaders had Jesus murdered, but God raised Jesus from the dead. Peter further explained that God placed Jesus at His right hand as Prince and Savior. After the religious leaders heard this, they decided to kill the apostles.

In this episode we start our look at chapter 5, verses 1-16, of the Book of Acts. As chapter 4 ends with the story of Barnabas selling his land to support other believers in need, chapter 5 opens with the story of a married couple, Ananias and Sapphira, who sell their land but lied to God about giving all of the proceeds from the sale to the apostles to help support other believers in need. As a result, they both lose their lives. Afterwards, great fear gripped the entire church. God should be praised and feared. The fear did not stop people from coming to Jesus; however, because "More than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women." Amen!

We finish chapter 4 of the Book of Acts. We look at verses 23-37. John and Peter were arrested for teaching people about Jesus. After being freed, they tell the other disciples about being arrested for teaching about Jesus. Then Jesus' disciples pray for boldness to continue to teach about Jesus in the face of persecution. God answered their prayer as the place where they were miraculously shook, and they continued to teach the people about Jesus with boldness. We see Jesus' followers being united in heart and mind as they were led by the Holy Spirit. We see Jesus' disciples being led by the Holy Spirit to share everything with one another as there was a great need because many of the followers didn't have anything.
