Acts 4:2

Jesus
The resurrection

1 While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

greatly disturbed that they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.

3 They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in custody until the next day.

4 But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.
