In this episode we read Acts 5: 17-42. The high priest and the Sadducees are jealous of the apostles and arrest them and put them in the public prison. In the night, an angel of the Lord opens the prison doors and instructs them to go and teach in the temple. When they are brought before the council, Peter says “We must obey God rather than men.” When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them. Gamaliel, a Pharisee in the council, warns them to be cautious in their actions lest they are found to be opposing God.
