Amplified Bible

Acts 4:1-4 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. AND WHILE they [Peter and John] were talking to the people, the high priests and the military commander of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

2. Being vexed and indignant through and through because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in [the case of] Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

3. So they laid hands on them (arrested them) and put them in prison until the following day, for it was already evening.

4. But many of those who heard the message believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on Jesus as the Christ). And their number grew and came to about 5,000.
