Acts 4:20 in Context — Acts 4

18 Et les ayant appelés, ils leur défendirent absolument de parler et d’enseigner au nom de Jésus.

19 Pierre et Jean leur répondirent: Jugez s’il est juste, devant Dieu, de vous obéir plutôt qu’à Dieu;

20 car nous ne pouvons pas ne pas parler de ce que nous avons vu et entendu.

21 Ils leur firent de nouvelles menaces, et les relâchèrent, ne sachant comment les punir, à cause du peuple, parce que tous glorifiaient Dieu de ce qui était arrivé.

22 Car l’homme qui avait été l’objet de cette guérison miraculeuse était âgé de plus de quarante ans.
