Acts 5:33-42

JuliaSmith(i) 33 And having heard, they gnashed the teeth with rage, and consulted to kill them. 34 And a certain Pharisee having risen up in the council, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honoured by all the people, urged to put the sent without a little while. 35 And he said to them, Men, Israelites, attend to yourselves on account of these men, what ye are about to do. 36 For before these days Theudas arose, saying himself to be somebody: which a number of men followed, about four hundred, who was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were destroyed, and were for nothing. 37 After this Judas the Galilean arose in the days of enrolling, and misled enough people after him: and he perished; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered. 38 And now say I to you, Depart from these men, and leave them; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it shall be destroyed: 39 And if it is of God, ye cannot destroy it; lest ye also be found contenders against God. 40 And by him they were persuaded: and having called the sent, having stripped, they enjoined not to speak in the name of Jesus, and loosed them. 41 Truly therefore they went rejoicing from the face of the council, that for his name they were deemed worthy to be dishonoured. 42 And every day in the temple, and at the house, they ceased not teaching and announcing the good news, Jesus the Christ.
