Today's Christian Clipart: Peter and John before the Sanhedrin

Acts 4:12-14

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved."
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.

Today's Christian clip art: Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin

Matthew 26:57-66, Mark 14:53-64, Luke 22:66-71

Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas, the high priest. Caiaphas and chief priest and whole Sanhedrin was looking for false evidence against Jesus. But they could not find any they could use to put Jesus to death. Caiaphas asked Jesus "Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God." Jesus replied, "Yes, it is as you say. But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." Then Caiaphas said excitedly, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses?" They answered, "He is worthy of death!"

Today's Christian clip art: Peter disowned Jesus

Matthew 26:69-75, Mark 14:66-72, Luke 22:55-62. John 18:25-27.

Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. "You also were with Jesus of Galilee," she said. But he denied it before them all. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said. He disowned Jesus twice more, rigfht after that a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.


Peter was very confident that he would never disown his Lord, but he did it three times in hours. Weak mind like myself surely need help from holy spirits to keep the faith at a difficult time.
