Pentecost Group -- Bible Study 4
Conflict with Judaism
1. Read Acts 3 and 5. From Acts 3,what, if anything is the significance of Peter and John going into the temple for the prayer service?
2. Why does Peter begin his speech with, “The God of Abraham and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our Fathers”?
3. From Acts 4:1-22, what was the charge that Peter and John were arrested on? Is this consistent with their interrogation the following day?
4. From Acts 5:17-24, what new element do you see entering into the arrest story in contrast to the one narrated in the previous chapter?
5. What was the reason behind the Sanhedrin’s decision to release them? From Acts 4:1-22.
6. What is the function of the Spirit in 5:32? How do you think the Holy Spirit fulfilled this function then? How does He today?
7. What statements made by Peter and other apostles could be interpreted as anti-Semitic? Since the apostles were Jewish themselves, how do you understand their attacks on “the Jews?”
