Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. (Acts 4:13 ESV) Boldness (Gk. parrēsia) is an important word in Acts which depicts Spirit-inspired courage and confidence to speak in spite of any danger or threat. It is impossible to imagine how much the disciples would have learned from spending three years in close association with the Son of God living on earth, listening to him teach, hearing him pray, and watching him interact with the most difficult challenges. They knew Jesus, and in knowing him they knew much more than all the learned scribes of the Sanhedrin. We need to be with Jesus! Our Journey continues today in Acts chapters 3:1 through 8:3
