Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁶ Then wete ye rulers with their mynisters, and fetched them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they shulde haue bene stoned. ²⁷ And whan they had brought them, they set the before the councell. And the hye prest axed them, ²⁸ and sayde: Dyd not we comaunde you strately, that ye shulde not teache in this name. And beholde, ye haue fylled Ierusalem with youre doctryne, and ye intede to brynge this mans bloude vpon vs. ²⁹ But Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayde: We ought more to obeye God then men. ³⁰ The God of oure fathers hath raysed vp Iesus, who ye slewe, and hanged on tre. ³¹ Him hath the righte hande of God exalted, to be a prynce and Sauioure, to geue repentaunce and forgeuenesse of synnes vnto Israel. ³² And we are his recordes of these wordes, and the holy goost, who God hath geuen vnto the that obeye him. ³³ Wha they herde that, it wente thorow the hertes of them, and they thoughte to slaye them. ³⁴ Then stode there vp in ye councell a pharyse, named Gamaliel, a scribe, had in greate reputacion before all ye people, and bad put the Apostles asyde a litle, ³⁵ and sayde vnto them: Ye men of Israel, take hede to youre selues, what ye do as touchinge these men. ³⁶ Before these dayes rose vp one Theudas, boostinge himself. (And there cleued vnto him a nobre of me, aboute a foure hundreth) which was slayne, and all they yt enclyned vnto him, were scatred abrode, and brought to naught. ³⁷ After this stode vp Iudas of Galile in ye dayes of trybute, and drewe awaye moch people after him, & he also perished, & all they that enclyned vnto him, are scatred abrode. ³⁸ And now I saye vnto you: refrayne yor selues fro these men, and let the go. Yf this councell or worke be of me, it wil come to naught: ³⁹ but yf it be of God, ye are not able to destroye it, lest ye be founde to be the men, that wil stryue agaynst God. ⁴⁰ Then they agreed vnto him, and called the Apostles, and bet them, and commaunded them, that they shulde speake nothinge in the name of Iesu, and let them go. ⁴¹ But they departed from the presence of the councell, reioysinge, that they were worthy to suffre rebuke for his names sake. ⁴² And daylie in the temple and in euery house they ceassed not, to teache and to preache the Gospell of Iesus Christ.
