More and more people believed in Jesus! The jealous leaders threw all the apostles in jail.
But that night, an angel opened the jail doors! “Go to the temple and keep telling people about Jesus!”
The leaders found them teaching again! “We told you to stop!” Peter said, “We must obey God more than people.” They were beaten, but they left happy to suffer for Jesus.
