But he was killed; and all his followers scattered and dwindled away. ³⁷ After him, Judas the Galilean appeared at the time of the census, and induced people to follow him; Yet he, too, perished and all his followers were dispersed. ³⁸ And, in this present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these men, but to let them alone, for, if their designs and their work are merely of human origin, they will come to an end; ³⁹ But, if they are of divine origin, you will be powerless to put an end to them--or else you may find yourselves fighting against God!"

³⁹ But, if they are of divine origin, you will be powerless to put an end to them--or else you may find yourselves fighting against God!" ⁴⁰ The Council followed his advice, and, calling the Apostles in, had them flogged, and then, after cautioning them not to speak in the Name of Jesus, set them free.

The Lion conquered--the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Scion of David--and can therefore open the book with its seven seals.' ⁶ Then, within the space between the throne and the four Creatures, and in the midst of the Councillors, I saw, standing, a Lamb, which seemed to have been sacrificed. It had seven horns and seven eyes. (These eyes are the seven Spirits of God, and they are sent into all the world.) ⁷ The Lamb came forward; and he has taken the book from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. ⁸ And, when he had taken the book, the four Creatures and the twenty-four Councillors prostrated themselves before the Lamb, each of them holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense.
