Lamsa(i)
34 Then one of the PharÆi-sees whose name was Ga-maÆli-el, a teacher of the law and honored by all the people, rose up and ordered them to take the apostles outside for a little while;
35 Then he said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves, and find out what is the best for you to do about these men.
36 For before these days, rose up TheuÆdas, boasting himself to be a great man; and about four hundred men followed him: he was slain; and those who followed him were scattered and nothing came of them.
37 After him rose up Judas, the Gal-i-leÆan, in the days when people were registering for the head tax, and he misled many people into following him. He died; and all of those who followed him were dispersed.
38 So now I tell you, Keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this thought and this work is of men, it will fail and pass away.
39 But if it be of God, you cannot suppress it, lest perchance you find yourself standing in opposition to God.
40 And they listened to him, and they called the apostles, and scourged them, and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 The apostles went out from the presence of the council rejoicing that they had been worthy to suffer abuse for the sake of his name.
42 And they did not cease to teach daily in the temple and at home and to preach concerning our LORD Jesus Christ.
