Acts 5:27-32  New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

27 When they had brought them, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them, 28 saying, “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,[a] yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you are determined to bring this man’s blood on us.”(A) 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than any human authority.[b](B) 30 The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree.(C) 31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior that he might give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.(D) 32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.”(E)
