Acts 4:19

ObedienceIntegrityCourage and strengthGod's will and calling

17 But to keep this message from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them not to speak to anyone in this name.”

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

But Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than God.

20 For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

21 After further threats they let them go. They could not find a way to punish them, because all the people were glorifying God for what had happened.
