The translation of the word "gospel" is good news. The purpose of the gospel message of Jesus Christ is for all the world to understand He is the way to redemption. Peter and John carried this message after the resurrection to places that were not welcoming to this new proclaimation. The two were jailed for continuing to spread the gospel and healing people in Jesus' name. In the process of being punished for continuing to share the good news, these men were given the opportunity to speak the truth of Jesus' message to many people in the jail and even the leaders of the Sanhedrin Court.  The gospel opportunity was perfectly set up for Peter and John to share the truth. Thousands came to repentance and surrendered to Christ. The gospel changed the world and continues to bring redemption to people today.    Acts 4:1-22 Kenny Nix, Pastor
