Acts 4

Acts 4 starts with Peter and John teaching in the temple.  The priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came and took Peter and Paul away and put them before the council of the priests.  They saw that the lame man was healed and asked by who authority they did it by.  Peter was filled with boldness and told them the man was healed through Jesus Christ whom they killed and was again raised by the Father.  The council could not find any grounds on which to punish them so they threatened Peter and John and charged them not to speak of Jesus to anyone.  Peter replied to them that they would continue to speak of Jesus.  The other believers were praying for boldness, as should we.  To have such boldness in the face of opposition, that is a way to follow in and become more like Jesus.
