512.


Imprisonment and Release

1.

Today's Passage: Acts 5:17-42


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).




2.

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

5th strategy.
A simple strategy: Building Blocks


  • Begin by asking God to join you in building into your heart what He would want you to build.
  • Read the passage completely
  • Read the passage again. With the second reading pause after each phrase/sentence and think about the phrase/sentence. Take the phrase/sentence in slowly.
  • You might want to reread the phrase/sentence until the meaning, or importance of the phrase/sentence really sinks in.
  • After reading each phrase/sentence at least once, sometimes more. Go back and reread the entire passage.
  • Do you find that the passage builds phrase/sentence upon phrase/sentence in importance? Why? or Why not?
  • What phrase/sentence do you find most important in the passage?
  • Thank God for this phrase/sentence and commit it to memory today.
  • Don't forget to thank God for being here today with you.


17. The high priest and his officials, who were Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.
18. They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
19. But an angel of the Lord came at night, opened the gates of the jail, and brought them out. Then he told them,
20. "Go to the Temple and give the people this message of life!"

21. So at daybreak the apostles entered the Temple, as they were told, and immediately began teaching.

When the high priest and his officials arrived, they convened the high council ⏤ the full assembly of the elders of Israel. Then they sent for the apostles to be brought from the jail for trial.
22. But when the Temple guards went to the jail, the men were gone. So they returned to the council and reported,
23. "The jail was securely locked, with the guards standing outside, but when we opened the gates, no one was there!"

24. When the captain of the Temple guard and the leading priests heard this, they were perplexed, wondering where it would all end.
25. Then someone arrived with startling news: "The men you put in jail are standing in the Temple, teaching the people!"

26. The captain went with his Temple guards and arrested the apostles, but without violence, for they were afraid the people would stone them.
27. Then they brought the apostles before the high council, where the high priest confronted them.
28. "Didn't we tell you never again to teach in this man's name?" he demanded. "Instead, you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him, and you want to make us responsible for his death!"

29. But Peter and the apostles replied, "We must obey God rather than any human authority.
30. The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead after you killed him by hanging him on a cross.
31. Then God put him in the place of honor at his right hand as Prince and Savior. He did this so the people of Israel would repent of their sins and be forgiven.
32. We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him."

33. When they heard this, the high council was furious and decided to kill them.
34. But one member, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, who was an expert in religious law and respected by all the people, stood up and ordered that the men be sent outside the council chamber for a while.
35. Then he said to his colleagues, "Men of Israel, take care what you are planning to do to these men!
36. Some time ago there was that fellow Theudas, who pretended to be someone great. About 4,000 others joined him, but he was killed, and all his followers went their various ways. The whole movement came to nothing.
37. After him, at the time of the census, there was Judas of Galilee. He got people to follower him, but he was killed, too, and all his followers  were scattered.

38. "So my advice is, leave these men alone. Let them go. If they are planning and doing these things merely on their own, it will soon be overthrown.
39. But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God"

40. The others accepted his advice. They called in the apostles and had them flogged. Then they ordered them never again to speak in the name of Jesus, and they let them go.

41. The apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to suffer disgrace for the name of Jesus.
42. And every day, in the Temple and from house to house, they continued to teach and preach this message: "Jesus is the Messiah."
Acts 5:17-41 NLT
