Acts 5:33-42

MSTC(i) 33 When they heard that, they clave asunder, and sought means to slay them. 34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a doctor of law, had in authority among all the people and bade to put the apostles aside a little space, 35 and said unto them, "Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. 36 Before these days rose up one Theudas boasting himself, to whom resorted a number of men, about a four hundred, which was slain, and they all which believed him were scattered abroad, and brought to nought. 37 After this man arose there up one Judas of Galilee, in the time when tribute began, and drew away much people after him. He also perished: and all, even as many as harkened to him, are scattered abroad. 38 And now I say unto you: refrain yourselves from these men, let them alone: For if the counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: 39 but and if it be of God, ye cannot destroy it, lest haply ye be found to strive against God." 40 And to him they agreed, and called the apostles, and beat them, and commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 And they departed from the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his name. 42 And daily in the temple, and in every house they ceased not, teaching and preaching Jesus Christ.
