1. Acts 5:42 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

How did the apostles respond to the prohibition of the Sanhedrin?

Acts 5:42 (ESV)

42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus.

The apostles continue with their disobedience. They have not been silenced and they will continue proclaiming the good news about Jesus. Implicit in this statement is the idea that it is not the Sanhedrin but the twelve apostles who are now the teachers of Israel.1
