About the show

We continue our verse-by-verse study of Acts, chapter 5, focusing on verses 34–42 as we close out the chapter. This passage picks up during the trial of Jesus’ apostles, who were once again arrested for teaching that Jesus died for the sins of humanity.

After Peter boldly explained to the high council why they continued to proclaim Jesus, the council became enraged and wanted to put the apostles to death. However, a respected and well-educated Pharisee named Gamaliel stood up and offered wise counsel. He reminded the council that if this movement was of human origin, it would eventually fade away on its own. But if it was from God, there would be no way to stop it—and they would find themselves fighting against God Himself.

The council took Gamaliel’s advice and decided not to execute the apostles. However, they still had them beaten and once again ordered them never to speak in the name of Jesus.

In response, the apostles rejoiced that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name. And without hesitation, they went right back to teaching—every single day—that Jesus is the Messiah!
