"Judge For Yourselves, Whether It Is Right In GOD's Eyes, For Us To Obey You, Rather Than GOD. We Cannot Stop Speaking About What We Have Seen And Heard."

 "They were astonished at the boldness of Peter and John, considering that they were uneducated  and untrained men.  They recognized, also, that they had been with JESUS, but, as the man who had been cured stood beside them, they could make no reply.

So they ordered them to leave the council room while they consulted with one another.  They asked, 'What shall we do with these men?  Everyone who lives in Jerusalem knows, that a remarkable sign has been given through them, and we cannot deny it.  But to stop this from spreading any further among the people, let us warn them never again to speak to anyone in the name of JESUS.'  So they called them back and charged them not to speak, or teach at all, in the name of JESUS.

But Peter and John answered them, 'Judge for yourselves, whether it is right in GOD's eyes, for us to obey you, rather than GOD.  We cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.'  Then the council threatened them once more and let them go.  They could find no way of punishing them because of the people, who glorified GOD for what had happened;..." - Acts 4:13-21 

(What we have seen and heard.  It is John speaking: John will not speak about miracles, or revelations, or secrets jealously kept by some members.  The truth that he relates to us is both simpler and more divine than all this: GOD, the Eternal Life, has come to live with us.

Life became visible.  Do not look for miracles or miraculous powers.  Do not expect fantastic revelations about the beyond.  Life was revealed as the gift of the FATHER, the rebirth of a humanity without hope, the divine smile, the unexpected visit of the one seeking to share HIS life with humans [Proverbs 8:31].  We will not find life merely in books, but through communion with those who have seen and experienced it before us, and who became HIS Church.)
