Transformed by Truth
Commentators are struck by Peter's radical transformation. The same man who fearfully denied Jesus now stands boldly before the powerful Sanhedrin. Scholars like Albert Barnes explain this change wasn't from personal grit but from a deep conviction in the resurrected Christ. His boldness was a direct result of being 'filled with the Holy Ghost,' demonstrating that faith in the risen Jesus can transform fear into courageous witness.
