Acts 5:27-33

New King James Version

²⁷ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, ²⁸ saying, ^(A)“Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, ^(B)and intend to bring this Man’s ^(C)blood on us!”

²⁹ But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: ^(D)“We ought to obey God rather than men. ^30 (E)The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by ^(F)hanging on a tree. ^31 (G)Him God has exalted to His right hand to be ^(H)Prince and ^(I)Savior, ^(J)to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. ³² And ^(K)we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit ^(L)whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

³³ When they heard this, they were ^(M)furious^[a] and plotted to kill them.
