Acts 5:31

29 But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.

30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.

God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.

32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

33 When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
