PETER AND JOHN BEFORE THE SAMHEDRIM. (Act 4:1-13) the captain--of the Levitical guard. of the temple--annoyed at the disturbance created around it. and the Sadducees--who "say that there is no resurrection" (Act 23:8), irritated at the apostles "preaching through (rather, 'in') Jesus the resurrection from the dead"; for the resurrection of Christ, if a fact, effectually overthrew the Sadducean doctrine.

I. The apostles, Peter and John, went on in their work, and did not labour in vain. The Spirit enabled the ministers to do their part, and the people theirs. 1. The preachers faithfully deliver the doctrine of Christ: They spoke unto the people, to all that were within hearing, Act 4:1. What they said concerned them all, and they spoke it openly and publicly. They taught the people, still taught the people knowledge; taught those that as yet did not believe, for their conviction and conversion; and taught those that did believe, for their comfort and establishment. They preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. The doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, (1.) Was verified in Jesus; this they proved, that Jesus Christ had risen from the dead, as the first, the chief, that should rise from the dead, Act 26:23. They preached the resurrection of Christ as their warrant for what they did. Or, (2.) It is secured by him to all believers. The resurrection of the dead includes all the happiness of the future state. This they preached through Jesus Christ, attainable through him (Phi 3:10, Phi 3:11), and through him only. They meddled not with matters of state, but kept to their business, and preached to the people heaven as their end and Christ as their way. See Act 17:18. 2. The hearers cheerfully receive it (Act 4:4): Many of those who heard the word believed; not all - perhaps not the most, yet many, to the number of about five thousand, over and…

God’s servants often faced hostility and opposition (Deut 30:7; 1 Kgs 18:13; Neh 4:1-3; Jer 37–38; Matt 23:34-37; Luke 11:49-51; 1 Thes 2:14-15). Jesus himself was persecuted (Luke 4:29; John 5:16), and he told his disciples to expect the same kind of treatment (Matt 10:23; 24:9; Mark 13:9; Luke 21:12; John 16:2), but he promised that the Holy Spirit would provide strength (Acts 1:8; Luke 12:11-12; 21:15). Acts records frequent times of persecution (Acts 4:3; 5:17-41; 7:54–8:3; 9:1-2; 11:19; 12:2; 13:50; 14:19; 16:19-24), but Acts also reiterates that the Holy Spirit empowers disciples to bear witness in such circumstances (2:44; 4:8-13; 6:10; 7:55). The boldness of Peter and John before the hostile high council exemplifies facing persecution with courage and power (4:20). 4:1 Sadducees: See “The Sadducees” Profile.

فَمَضَى وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَقُوَّادِ الْجُنْدِ كَيْفَ يُسَلِّمُهُ إِلَيْهِمْ.
وَهَيَّجُوا الشَّعْبَ وَالشُّيُوخَ وَالْكَتَبَةَ، فَقَامُوا وَخَطَفُوهُ وَأَتَوْا بِهِ إِلَى الْمَجْمَعِ،
حِينَئِذٍ مَضَى قَائِدُ الْجُنْدِ مَعَ الْخُدَّامِ، فَأَحْضَرَهُمْ لاَ بِعُنْفٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَخَافُونَ الشَّعْبَ لِئَلاَّ يُرْجَمُوا.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْكَاهِنُ وَقَائِدُ جُنْدِ الْهَيْكَلِ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ هذِهِ الأَقْوَالَ، ارْتَابُوا مِنْ جِهَتِهِمْ: مَا عَسَى أَنْ يَصِيرَ هذَا؟
فَلَمَّا رَأَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَالصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ يَأْتُونَ إِلَى مَعْمُودِيَّتِهِ، قَالَ لَهُمْ:«يَاأَوْلاَدَ الأَفَاعِي، مَنْ أَرَاكُمْ أَنْ تَهْرُبُوا مِنَ الْغَضَب الآتِي؟
وَلكِنَّ رُؤَسَاءَ الْكَهَنَةِ وَالشُّيُوخَ حَرَّضُوا الْجُمُوعَ عَلَى أَنْ يَطْلُبُوا بَارَابَاسَ وَيُهْلِكُوا يَسُوعَ.
فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ تَلاَمِيذَهُمْ مَعَ الْهِيرُودُسِيِّينَ قَائِلِينَ:«يَا مُعَلِّمُ، نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ صَادِقٌ وَتُعَلِّمُ طَرِيقَ اللهِ بِالْحَقِّ، وَلاَ تُبَالِي بِأَحَدٍ، لأَنَّكَ لاَ تَنْظُرُ إِلَى وُجُوهِ النَّاسِ.
حِينَئِذٍ فَهِمُوا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ أَنْ يَتَحَرَّزُوا مِنْ خَمِيرِ الْخُبْزِ، بَلْ مِنْ تَعْلِيمِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّينَ وَالصَّدُّوقِيِّينَ.
وَكَذلِكَ رُؤَسَاءُ الْكَهَنَةِ أَيْضًا وَهُمْ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ مَعَ الْكَتَبَةِ وَالشُّيُوخِ قَالُوا:
مَعَ حَنَّانَ رَئِيسِ الْكَهَنَةِ وَقَيَافَا وَيُوحَنَّا وَالإِسْكَنْدَرِ، وَجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ رُؤَسَاءِ الْكَهَنَةِ.
