Acts 5:24-39

24Now when athe captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them, wondering what this would come to. 25And someone came and told them, “Look! The men whom you put in prison bare standing in the temple and teaching the people.” 26Then cthe captain with the officers went and brought them, but not by force, for dthey were afraid of being stoned by the people.

27And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28saying, e“We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you fintend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” 29But Peter and the apostles answered, g“We must obey God rather than men. 30 hThe God of our fathers iraised Jesus, jwhom you killed by hanging him on ka tree. 31God exalted lhim at his right hand as mLeader and nSavior, oto give prepentance to Israel and qforgiveness of sins. 32And rwe are witnesses to these things, and sso is the Holy Spirit, twhom God has given to those who obey him.”

33When they heard this, they uwere enraged and wanted to kill them. 34But a Pharisee in the council named vGamaliel, wa teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, stood up and gave orders to put the men outside for a little while. 35And he said to them, “Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men. 36For xbefore these days Theudas rose up, yclaiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of zthe census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered. 38So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for aaif this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; 39but abif it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You acmight even be found opposing God!” So they took his advice,
