After having been detained by the Sanhedrin following the healing of a man born lame, Peter and John as told that they may no longer preach anything about Jesus. This decision is reached by those in authority despite the obvious miracle of the man standing before them. In response, Peter asks if it is right to obey men or God. The disciples cannot stop preach the Gospel, nor will they. At this point the religious leadership lets them go despite their desire to further punish Peter and John because of the fear they have of the people (who are amazed at the miracle). How do we know if we should disobey an unjust law or corrupt regime? In the end, Jesus is our example, in this as in all else.
