Acts 4:0 Before the Council From this section of Apostolic history we may draw the following practical inferences: I. We may learn that if we are Christ's disciples we may expect to encounter antagonism. II. That if we are really Christ's disciples, there will be something about us that will remind the world of Him. The inner springs of character may be hidden, but the life will make evident of what sort they are. III. That if we are really Christ's disciples, the one rule of our lives will be... read more

Acts 4:1 . The captain of the temple was the captain of the watch, and saw that the levites performed their duty day and night.
