One of the events of this reading has to do with the story line of chapters 3 and 4. Persecution rose again against the disciples. Their persecutors reminded them that they had been given strict orders not to teach “in this name” (the name of Jesus, v. 28). Again they refused—this time with a now famous statement, “We ought to obey God rather than men” (v. 29). No matter how strict the orders of sinful men are—God must be obeyed.
