Peter and the apostles boldly proclaimed the principle that even supreme human authorities, like the high priest and the council, must yield to the law of God.

(Acts 5:27-29 ) “And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. “

A similar principle provides the theme of the ‘Greek tragedy’ ( Greek tragedy is a form of theatre from Ancient Greece and Asia Minor. It reached its most significant form in Athens in the 5th century BC, the works of which are sometimes called Attic tragedy.)(Greek Tragedy: Definition. 1. An Attic* tragedy is a self-contained piece of heroic myth, poetically elaborated in a high style for performance by a chorus of Athenian citizens and two or at the most three actors and intended as a part of the public festival in the sanctuary of Dionysus.)(‘Antigone” “worthy of one’s parents” or “in place of one’s parents”.) There Antigone says that no human being can overrule the unwritten, unchangeable laws of Heaven.
