Acts 4:3

"being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead."

Key Reflection

The leaders were disturbed by the apostles' teachings because it undermined their authority and threatened their religious status quo, highlighting a conflict between genuine faith and political power. This incident foreshadows the ongoing tension between the early church's message of salvation through Jesus and the阻力和反对。这不仅揭示了当时宗教领袖的权力欲，也预示了基督教传播过程中将面临的各种挑战。

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 3. Put them in hold. That is, they took them into custody, or into safe keeping. Probably they committed them to the care of a guard. Eventide. Evening. It was not convenient to assemble the council at night. This was, moreover, the time for the evening prayer or sacrifice, and it was not usual to assemble the sanhedrim at that hour. {*} "put them in hold" "In prison" {+} "eventide" "Evening" __________________________________________________________________
