In Acts 4, the top religious leaders pull Peter and John aside. They warn Peter and John to stop speaking and performing miracles in the name of Jesus. Peter and John respond something like this: "Is it more important for us to obey God or to obey you? What do you think? As for us, we can't help but testify to who Jesus is and what he has done!"
These verses stuck out to me:

Their fascination deepened when they realized these two were laymen with no training in Scripture or formal education. They recognized them as companions of Jesus, but with the man right before them, seeing him standing there so upright—so healed!—what could they say against that?"
Inspired to tell of all the amazing things God has done for me.
