<p>4:8<i>Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: You rulers of the people and elders</i>- The mention of the Holy Spirit is surely to demonstrate how exactly were the Lord's words being fulfilled: &quot;But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and in their synagogues they will scourge you. Yes and before governors and kings you shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them, and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you shall speak, for it shall be given to you at that time what to speak. For it is not you that speaks, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you&quot; (Mt. 10:17-20).</p>
