Peter's preaching after Jesus' healing of a lame man in the Temple got him, John, and the lame man held in custody overnight. We get to see what happens during their hearing before the rulers of Israel in this passage. In brief, the hearing didn't turn out at all as the Jewish leaders planned. Peter and John left the court determined that men would not silence them or the truth they were declaring. Their Spirit-given boldness is just what we need as we face those who are trying to silence the church today.
