Caiaphas had called this meeting for the purpose of putting an end to the teachings of Peter and John about Jesus and His resurrection. Now Peter has made this personal by accusing them of crucifying the Messiah. This ignited a hatred and fury that prompted them to want to put the apostles to death. Gamaliel told them to stop and think about their actions. He reminded them there had been others whose conduct suggested they might be the Promised One; but, in time they passed, as did their followers. This too shall pass if it’s of human origin; but, if it’s of God you will find yourself fighting Him. [Reflection is based on the Bible Reference – Acts 5:33-39]
