Acts 5:33-42

Worrell(i) 33 And they, hearing it, were being convulsed with rage, and were taking counsel to slay them. 34 But a certain one, having risen up in the council—a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people—ordered to put the men without a little while. 35 And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves with regard to these men, what ye are about to do; 36 for before these days arose Theudas, alleging that he himself was somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves; who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were disbanded, and came to nothing. 37 After this arose Judas, the Galilean, in the days of the enrollment, and drew away people after him; he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad. 38 And now I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for, if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown; 39 but, if it be of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest perhaps ye be found even fighting against God." 40 And to him they assented; and calling the apostles to them, beating them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go, 41 They, therefore, were going from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they were accounted worthy to suffer dishonor in behalf of The Name. 42 And every day, in the temple, and at their homes, they ceased not teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
