The Apostle Rejoice that they were Counted worthy to suffer for Christ. Acts 5: 17-29, Reads, The Apostle were imprisoned, because the High priest which is of the sect of the Sadducees, they were filled with indignation, at the Apostles because of the signs and wonders they worth among the People; and Believers were added to the Lord, in multitudes, both Men and Women. 19, But the Angel of the Lord by Night Opened the Doors, and brought them out and said, go Stand and Speak in the Temple to the people all the words of this Life. And when they heard that, they entered into the Temple early in the Morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and they called the Council together, and all the Senate of the Children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
But when the Officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told them saying, The prison truly was Shut with all Safety,and the keepers Standing with out before the doors: but when we open the doors: we found no Man within. After word they were told that the apostles were in the temple; the officers went and brought them and set them before the Council: and the high priest ask them, did not we Command that you should not teach in this Name again? you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man Blood upon us. Then Peter and the other Apostles answered and said, we ought to Obey God Rather Then Men. The God of our Fathers raised up Jesus, whom you slew, and hanged on a tree, Him hath God Exalted with His right hand to be a prince and a Savor. to give repentance and forgiveness of sin.
