Chapter 4
Peter and John before the Sanhedrin
1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

The Believers’ Prayer
23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
