"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
~ Acts 4:12 (NIV)
Peter and John boldly presented and defended the Gospel as they faced persecution from the leaders of their time, the Sadducees and Pharisees, even the Roman rulers. It's very interesting to note that the Sadducees, Pharisees and the Roman rulers are not exactly in agreement in a lot of matters, but yet they stood in united front against the Apostles as they went about ministering the Gospel unto the people they encountered.
"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say."
~ Acts 4:13-14 (NIV)
