And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. 14 But seeing the man who was healed ^sstanding beside them, ^tthey had nothing to say in opposition. 15 But when they had commanded them to leave the council, they conferred with one another, 16 saying, ^u“What shall we do with these men? For that ^va notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them ^wto speak no more to anyone in this name.” 18 So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered them, ^x“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, 20 for ^ywe cannot but speak of what ^zwe have seen and heard.” 21 And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, ^aabecause of the people, for all were praising God ^abfor what had happened.
