Acts 5:33-42

Murdock(i) 33 And when they heard these things, they burned with indignation, and thought of putting them to death. 34 Then rose up one of the Pharisees whose name was Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, and honored by all the people; and he directed them to put the legates aside for a short time. 35 And he said, to them: Men, sons of Israel, take heed to yourselves, and consider what ye ought to do in regard to these men. 36 For before this time, rose up Theudas, and said of himself, that he was some great one; and there went after him about four hundred men. And he was slain; and they who went after him, were dispersed and became as nothing. 37 And after him, rose up Judas a Galilean, in the days when the people were enrolled for the capitation tax; and he seduced much people after him. And he died, and all they that went after him were dispersed. 38 And now, I say to you: Desist from these men, and let them lone. For if this device and this work originate from men, they will dissolve and come to nothing. 39 But if it be from God, it is not in your power to frustrate it: that ye may not be found placing yourselves in opposition to God. And they, assented to him. 40 And they called the legates, and scourged them, and commanded them not to teach in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. 41 And they went from before them, rejoicing that they were worthy to suffer abuse on account of that name. 42 And they ceased not to teach daily, in the temple and at home, and to preach concerning our Lord Jesus Messiah.
