oRead 5:12-32. 5:29: "we ought to obey God rather than men."

What bold words.  What confrontational courage by the one who had denied his Lord thrice.  But note: this is not a mere argument from Peter.  These are words that ring true because since the coming of the Holy Spirit he has lived this obedience.  He preached, was thrown in jail, released by an angel, told to preach again, and he did it!  After being thrown in jail most would have been thinking of ways to make peace, go underground, or modify the message.  But these are men who have died to self and live for God.  They cannot be quiet (4:20).  They won't be quiet (5:29).
