"I, Peter, together with the others,  am once again in prison ....And this time too it is not because we have committed a crime... We are once again in prison because lives are being changed...And people are being healed and delivered....The religious leaders ought to know that a night in jail will  not silence us.... However, they do not seem to grasp that fact.... They must be quite desperate to put us in jail... Because it shows they do not know what else to do with us....And it shows they are very worried that all the people are turning to us.... This means they are no longer having influence over them....  They cannot allow that to happen.... But is is happening whether they like it or not.... They are hoping, of course, that a night in jail is going to change that."... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn how the religious leaders reacted to the fruitful ministry of the apostles...

                                                     PART V - VIII

The religious leaders learned what was happing among the believers through the ministry of the apostles. And they became very jealous for they realised they were losing control over the people. All they could think of to do was to have these troublesome apostles put in prison once again as you can know from    Acts 5:17-18

Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.

Perhaps this time they would be more successful in silencing these apostles.
