Starting with an account of a miraculous healing in Jerusalem, we see Peter and John questioned by the high priest and other leaders. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter boldly proclaims that the healing was done in the name of Jesus Christ, the man whom God raised from the dead. Despite the council's attempts to silence them, the apostles continue to preach and perform miracles, resulting in many conversions and widespread praise. We also witness the unity among believers as they share their possessions and care for each other's needs.
