Acts 4:2-4

Expanded Bible

² They were ·upset [annoyed; disturbed] because the two apostles were teaching the people and were ·preaching [proclaiming] ·that people will rise from the dead through the power of Jesus [^Lthe resurrection of the dead in Jesus; ^CSadducees did not believe in the afterlife]. ³ They ·grabbed [seized; arrested] Peter and John and put them in ·jail [custody]. Since it was already ·night [evening], they kept them in jail until the next day. ⁴ But many of those who had heard Peter and John preach believed the ·things they said [message; ^Lword]. ·There were now about five thousand in the group of believers [or The number of men grew to about five thousand; ^Cprobably referring to adult males and so household units].
