In this section of the Acts of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, we find Peter and John heal a lame beggar, who was over 40 years old. Peter said, "Look at Us!" The man looked up expectantly, and Peter said, "Silver and gold we do not have, but what we have we will give to you, in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, walk!" He did and he went jumping and leaping and praising God all the way into the temple with Peter and John. This brought forth Peter's second sermon. Peter and John were arrested and told not to speak in the name of Jesus, but they declared they could not stop. The believers shared their goods, and no one was in need. here we learn of a godly man named Joseph, but the apostles called him, Barnabas which means "Son of Encouragement." Ananias and Sapphira lied before the Lord about their gift, and they both died in their sin. The disciples were arrested again, but an angel of the Lord freed them and commanded them to enter the temple and proclaim "the whole message of this Life" (5:20). This time the disciples said, "We must obey God rather than men." The apostles were flogged, and ordered to not speak in the name of Jesus, and then released. 5:42, "And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ."
