The lesson shows Peter and John assuming leadership in th< early church. In many respect? different, they supported eaci other in their work as leaders. Peter was in his element preaching to thousands on th: day of Pentecost. It would bt hard to match the occasion ir another since—3,000 persons vrcrc brought into the church. Later as Peter and John went into the temple to pray, they saw at the gate called Beautiful a man lame from birth who was daily laid at the gate to beg. He asked alms; Peter gave him better—the power to wajk and do for himself. Hear ing of the miracle, a great multi tude gathered, and Peter had an other opportunity to preach. The religious authorities, stir red to action by those whom they recognized as followers of Jesus, tried to intimidate Peter and John by threats. The answer of the disciples was bold and un equivocal. They asked their in quisitors if it were right to heark en to God or to men, and de clared that they would speak the things they had seen and heard. The authorities further threat planting in June for the main crop. The early row could furnish early potatoes for August digging and use, and the vine cuttings would provide the main crop for later harvest and storage, Shil- letter points out.
