What did Peter and the apostles preach in Acts 4?
In Acts 4, Peter and the rest of the twelve apostles continued to preach that Jesus, whom they had crucified, had been raised from the dead. They proclaimed the resurrection of Christ and the hope of resurrection for other believers, which stirred opposition from the Sadducees.
Les explains that in Acts 4, Peter and the rest of the twelve were continuing to preach that the Jesus whom they had crucified had been raised from the dead. Les points out that this message especially offended the Sadducees, who did not believe in a resurrection of the dead or a life hereafter. They viewed eternalness only as passing something on to the next generation. So when Peter and John and the rest began to proclaim the resurrection of Christ and the hope of resurrection for other believers, it caused a hornet's nest.
