Acts 5:17 - Additional Comments
Amazing how Peter was doing countless deeds for people, true miracles, things no other could do, yet the Sadducees did not like what he was doing - probably because it was not they themselves who were doing it. Ah, the challenge we all face to see others being successful in ways we are not, and to be glad for them, and not be envious or jealous. Envy is listed in Rom 1:28-32 as one of the sins that are not fitting and deserving of death.
