A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS

                                                     PART IV - VII

"I, Peter, together with John, have just come out of jail.... We spent one night there.... The first time we have ever been in prison...We were sent to prison after Jesus enabled us to heal a crippled beggar....And after we had spoken and taught about Jesus....We have just appeared before the religious leaders.... They did not know what to do with us.... So they sent us out of the room where they were meeting.... No doubt, they then discussed among themselves what measures they needed to take.... They then called us in again.... This time they told us what they had decided we should not be doing....They told us we could no longer speak or teach about the Lord Jesus....But our Lord has told us that we should speak or teach about Him.... We must be obedient to Him.".....Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn what the religious leaders decided to do with Peter and John.....

The religious leaders knew that they had no case against Peter and John. So how could they keep them quiet? They decided that they should at least tell them to keep quiet about this Man Jesus as you can read in Acts 4:18

Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the Name of Jesus.

Peter and John were not in agreement with the command of the religious leaders not to talk about Jesus. In fact, quite the opposite was true for they knew the sole reason for their existence was to talk about Jesus.
