Spiritual Authority

Acts 4:5-7

The next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and others of the high priest's family. They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: 'By what power or what name did you do this?' (NIVUK)

After the lame man had been healed (Acts 3:6-10), many other people also trusted in Jesus (Acts 4:4). They believed that He was alive and had powerful authority; they repented of their sins, welcomed His Holy Spirit and became part of God's family in a new way (Acts 2:38-47). But that gave a problem to the official spiritual leaders in Jerusalem. Only a few weeks previously they had agreed that Jesus must die because He threatened their powerbase (Mark 15:10).
