Acts 4 - Introduction

The rulers of the Jews offended with Peter's sermon, (though thousands of the people were converted that heard the word,) imprison him and John. After, upon examination, Peter, boldly avouching the lame man to be healed by the name of Jesus, and that by the same Jesus, only we must be eternally saved, they command him and John to preach no more in that name, adding also threatening. Whereupon the church fleeth to prayer: and God, by moving the place where they were assembled, testified that he heard their prayer, confirming the church with the gift of the Holy Ghost, and with mutual love and charity.
