Sad Sadducees Poem by Royston Allen

Sad Sadducees



The poor Sadducees
were so sad you see.
They did not like what Peter said
that Jesus had risen from the dead.

But the lame man walked
and the people talked.
For by the risen power of Jesus' name
the man was healed and no longer lame.

Just what does it take
for people to make
their minds up about what they see
and believe in The Man from Galilee?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Acts 4
The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day. But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand.
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
