“And when they had summoned them, they commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge; for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.””
Acts 4:18-20 NASB1995
Here is Peter and John in front the elites, the leaders that had a huge part in having Jesus crucified. They are “commanding” them to not speak of Jesus. If they continue they will face persecution, if we tell people about Jesus we might feel a little uncomfortable. The thought of not sharing Jesus for them was not an option “we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard” We need to make it a nonnegotiable in our daily walk.
