Psalm: 118

Meditation

Acts: Word spread quickly – the Apostles are coming! This signaled the people to bring out their sick and infirmed in the hope that Peter’s shadow might fall on them and they would be healed. We may conclude that that is what happened someplace earlier. So here are the disciples preaching Christ when commanded by the elders not to do so (Acts 4:18-20). Evidently the Apostles/disciples had garnered enough respect by the people to strike fear into the religious leaders: fear of being stoned. Well, jail could not hold them so the Apostles went willingly with the guard to see the chief priest.
