Today's Bible verse is Acts 5:18 from the King James Version.

Episode 220: As Peter, John, and some of the other disciples were sitting arrested in a dungeon, an angel of God came and rescued them. The angel commissioned them to go back into the temple and preach to the people. They obeyed and were arrested again. Just as the Sanhedrin were getting ready to put the men to death, a Pharisee named Gamaliel spoke up and reasoned with them again, rescuing the disciples. Though the disciples were beaten again and again, they rejoiced in getting to share the good news of God with the people.
