QUESTIONS

Why were Peter and John going to pray at the temple. (3:11)

Why is it important for Peter to make clear that all the things that happened to Jesus were foretold by the prophets in the Old Testament. (3:17-24)

How does Acts 4:12 connect to Acts 1:8?

What was it about Peter and John that caused the religious leaders to say “that they had been with Jesus”? (4:13)

Is it right to ever disobey our governing authorities? If you said yes, when and why? (4:19,20)  

Is there a promise or truth to trust in from our study in this passage?
