ATTACHMENT A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS
PART V -XV
The high priest had accused the apostles, of having been disobedient to his instructions not to teach in Jesus' Name. However, he as well as the other Religous Leaders must understand that they have no choice but to obey someon higher than himself. They shared that with him and the other Religious Leaders as you can read in Acts 5:29-32
Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than man! The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead - whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree. God exalted Him to His own right hand as Prince and Saviour that He might give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him."
Peter, and the other apostles, made it very clear that the Religous Leaders were responsible for the death of Jesus. They, furthermore, explained that Jesus is the One who is able to give repentance and forgiveness.
