Acts 3-5
Satan’s henchmen, the Jews, through the ruling Sanhedrin, initiate the conflict. In response to the healing of the lame man by a living Jesus (a miracle done by Jesus (see John 5) and repeated now through Apostles), the Jews attempt to flog and punish the apostles, warning them not to give testimony to this living Jesus (resurrection). This begins the antagonism and the continuing tension throughout the book which continues even today (Jews persecuting Jewish Christians and opposing the message of Messiah).
