Acts 5:26-42 Then the officer, together with the deputies, coming forth, led them, but not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ Then the officer, together with the deputies, coming forth, led them, but not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned." ²⁷ Now, leading them, they stand them in the Sanhedrin. And the chief priest inquires of them, ²⁸ saying, "Do we not charge you with a charge not to be teaching in this Name? And lo! you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are intending to bring on us the blood of this man." ²⁹ Yet answering, Peter and the apostles say, "One must yield to God rather than to men." ³⁰ Now the God of our fathers rouses Jesus, on Whom you lay hands, hanging Him on a pole." ³¹ This Inaugurator and Saviour, God exalts to His right hand, to give repentance to Israel and the pardon of sins." ³² We are witnesses to these declarations, as well as the holy spirit which God gives to those yielding to Him." ³³ Now those who hear were harrowed, and they intended to assassinate them." ³⁴ Yet, rising, a certain Pharisee in the Sanhedrin, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by the entire people, orders them to put the men outside a bit." ³⁵ Besides he said to them, "Men! Israelites! Take heed to yourselves, as to these men, what you are about to be committing." ³⁶ For before these days rose Theudas, saying that he is somebody himself, to whom men numbering about four hundred inclined, who was assassinated, and all, whoever were persuaded by him, were disbanded, and came to nothing." ³⁷ After this, one rose, Judas, the Galilean, in the days of the registration, and draws away people after him, and he perished, and all, whoever were persuaded by him, are scattered." ³⁸ And now I am saying to you, Withdraw from these men and let them be, for if this counsel or this work should be of men, it will be demolished;" ³⁹ yet if it is of God, you will not be able to demolish them - lest at some time you may be found fighters against God also." ⁴⁰ Now they are persuaded by him, and, calling the apostles to them, and lashing them, they charge them not to be speaking in the name of Jesus, and release them." ⁴¹ They, indeed, then, went from the face of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they were deemed worthy to be dishonored for the sake of the Name." ⁴² Besides, every day, in the sanctuary and home by home, they ceased not teaching and bringing the evangel of Christ Jesus."
