Jesus - One Name

Acts 4:1-22 

.. describes the arrest and subsequent questioning of Peter and John by religious leaders in Jerusalem. The passage focuses on their bold declaration of Jesus's resurrection and healing power, despite facing opposition from the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees. The leaders are disturbed by the apostles' teaching about resurrection and the healing of a lame man, and they fear the growing influence of the apostles. Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, fearlessly proclaims that the man was healed by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom they crucified but God raised from the dead. The leaders are astonished by their boldness and decide to threaten them and charge them not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus anymore. However, they ultimately release Peter and John because they cannot find a way to punish them due to the people's praise for the miracle.
