Berean Standard Bible

“For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.””

Acts 4:20

Save as image

Study note

The Sanhedrin cannot deny the healing, since the healed man is standing right there, so they order Peter and John to stop speaking or teaching in the name of Jesus. The council held real power to punish, and the apostles knew what had happened to Jesus.
