Acts 5:24-28: in context

The apostles, jailed for preaching, have been let out of prison by an angel and are back in the temple teaching. The temple authorities, hearing that the men they locked up are standing in the temple courts teaching the people, are utterly baffled. The captain fetches them, gently, because the officers are afraid the crowd will stone them, and brings them before the council. The high priest confronts them: we strictly charged you not to teach in this name, and look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood on us.

The council's own words tell the story: you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching. They had done everything to stop it, arrests, threats, prison, and the message had only spread further, until the whole city was full of it. The authorities are perplexed, the text says, genuinely at a loss, because every effort to contain the gospel has failed. There is a quiet triumph in this. The word about the risen Jesus cannot be locked up; jail the preachers and the angel opens the door, and they go right back to the temple and keep teaching. And notice the accusation, you intend to bring this man's blood on us. That is exactly the point they cannot escape; they had cried let his blood be on us, and now the reality of what they did is pressing in, and they are trying to shift the guilt away. But the apostles will not stop naming the crucified and risen one. A word that fills a whole city despite prison and threats, carried by ordinary men who will not be silenced, is a word with God behind it. You cannot jail the gospel; the authorities discovered it, baffled, in a Jerusalem already full of the name they tried to ban.

Do I believe the word about Jesus is finally unstoppable, filling cities despite every effort to contain it, and am I willing to be one of those who keeps speaking it whatever the cost?
