Temple Arrest, Sanhedrin Hearing and Release (4:1-22)
- Official Opposition (4:1-7)
- Bold Declaration of the Word of Salvation (4:8-14)
- The Word of Salvation Frustrates the Opposition (4:15-22)
The uninterrupted progress of the church in Acts 1â3 is quite unlike the situation in our world, but with the story of the apostles' arrest, incarceration and trial Luke brings us "down to earth." The progress of the Jerusalem church did not occur without opposition. But advance it did, and therein lies the challenge to us: to accept the truth of its message and to be faithful in following its courageous example.
IVP New Testament Commentaries are made available by the generosity of InterVarsity Press.
