📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, Peter and John had just healed a man who was lame from birth, which led to them preaching boldly about Jesus in the temple and drawing a crowd. This action provoked the religious leaders, who arrested them and commanded them to stop teaching in Jesus' name. In response, Peter and John affirmed their resolve to speak about what they had personally seen and heard regarding Christ's life, death, and resurrection.
