And now, brothers, I know you acted in ignorance, as your rulers did too.

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, replied, “Rulers of the people and elders,

and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

But Jesus called them and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them.

Yet here he is, speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to him. Do the rulers really know that this man is the Christ?

The kings of the earth stood together, and the rulers assembled together, against the Lord and against his Christ.’

The people also stood there watching, but the rulers ridiculed him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”

For the people who live in Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize him, and they fulfilled the sayings of the prophets that are read every Sabbath by condemning him.

(for rulers cause no fear for good conduct but for bad). Do you desire not to fear authority? Do good and you will receive its commendation,
