Acts 4:1-4
While Peter and John were speaking to the people, the priests and the commander of the temple guard3 and the Sadducees came up to them,
angry because they were teaching the people and announcing in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
So they seized them and put them in jail until the next day (for it was already evening).
But many of those who had listened to the message believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.
Prayer
Father, I abandon myself into your hands;
do with me what you will.
Whatever you may do, I thank you:
I am ready for all, I accept all.
Let only your will be done in me,
and in all Your creatures -
I wish no more than this, O Lord.
Into your hands I commend my soul;
I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,
for I love you Lord,
and so need to give myself,
to surrender myself into your hands,
without reserve,
and with boundless confidence,
For you are my Father.
