Acts 5:22 - 42

The followers of Jesus, having been miraculously delivered from prison, continue to tell the good news of the resurrected Messiah. The religious leaders are quite perplexed about how to proceed in treating them. Gamaliel, a great teacher, advises that nothing be done. The truth of the matter is that if man is involved in the matter, it will quickly die; however, if the movement is backed by God, the movement will proceed despite man's intervention. The followers are released - and notice their reaction - and rejoice that they have been counted worthy to suffer for their Savior.
