One day, as John and Peter prayed in the name of Jesus, they healed a man who had been lame from birth. The miraculous healing drew a large crowd, and the apostles boldly preached the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. As a result, more than five thousand people came to believe in Jesus. However, the Jewish religious leaders, angered by their teaching, seized Peter and John and threw them into prison. Yet even in confinement, they remained fearless, boldly declaring that Jesus is the only Savior. When the authorities threatened them and commanded them not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus, they stood firm in faith, replying that they could not remain silent about what they had seen and heard.
