⁶ with Annas the High Priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and the other members of the high-priestly family. ⁷ So they made the Apostles stand in the centre, and demanded of them, "By what power or in what name have you done this?" ⁸ Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he replied, "Rulers and Elders of the people, ⁹ if we to-day are under examination concerning the benefit conferred on a man helplessly lame, as to how this man has been cured; ¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus the Anointed, the Nazarene, whom *you* crucified, but whom *God* has raised from among the dead-- through that name this man stands here before you in perfect health. ¹¹ This Jesus is THE STONE TREATED WITH CONTEMPT BY YOU THE BUILDERS, BUT IT HAS BEEN MADE THE CORNERSTONE. ¹² And in no other is the great salvation to be found; for, in fact, there is no second name under Heaven that has been given among men through which we are to be saved." ¹³ As they looked on Peter and John so fearlessly outspoken--and also discovered that they were illiterate persons, untrained in the schools--they were surprised; and now they recognized them as having been with Jesus. ¹⁴ And seeing the man standing with them--the man who had been cured--they had no reply to make. ¹⁵ So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin while they conferred among themselves. ¹⁶ "What are we to do with these men?" they asked one another; for the fact that a remarkable miracle has been performed by them is well known to every one in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. ¹⁷ But to prevent the matter spreading any further among the people, let us stop them by threats from speaking in the future in this name to any one whatever." ¹⁸ So they recalled the Apostles, and ordered them altogether to give up speaking or teaching in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹ But Peter and John replied, "Judge whether it is right in God's sight to listen to you instead of listening to God. ²⁰ As for us, what we have seen and heard we cannot help speaking about." ²¹ The Court added further threats and then let them go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them on account of the people, because all gave God the glory for the thing that had happened. ²² For the man was over forty years of age on whom this miracle of restoration to health had been performed.

²⁶ Upon this the Commander went with the officers, and brought the Apostles; but without using violence; for they were afraid of being stoned by the people. ²⁷ So they brought them and made them stand in front of the Sanhedrin. And then the High Priest questioned them. ²⁸ "We strictly forbad you to teach in that name--did we not?" he said. "And see, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are trying to make us responsible for that man's death!" ²⁹ Peter and the other Apostles replied, "We must obey God rather than man. ³⁰ The God of our forefathers has raised Jesus to life, whom you crucified and put to death. ³¹ God has exalted Him to His right hand as Chief Leader and as Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins. ³² And we--and the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him--are witnesses as to these things." ³³ Infuriated at getting this answer, they were disposed to kill the Apostles. ³⁴ But a Pharisee of the name of Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, held in honour by all the people, rose from his seat and requested that they should be sent outside the court for a few minutes. ³⁵ "Israelites," he said, "be careful what you are about to do in dealing with these men. ³⁶ Years ago Theudas appeared, professing to be a person of importance, and a body of men, some four hundred in number, joined him. He was killed, and all his followers were dispersed and annihilated. ³⁷ After him, at the time of the Census, came Judas, the Galilaean, and was the leader in a revolt. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered. ³⁸ And now I tell you to hold aloof from these men and leave them alone--for if this scheme or work is of human origin, it will come to nothing. ³⁹ But if it is really from God, you will be powerless to put them down--lest perhaps you find yourselves to be actually fighting against God." ⁴⁰ His advice carried conviction. So they called the Apostles in, and--after flogging them--ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and then let them go. ⁴¹ They, therefore, left the Sanhedrin and went their way, rejoicing that they had been deemed worthy to suffer disgrace on behalf of the NAME. ⁴² But they did not desist from teaching every day, in the Temple or in private houses, and telling the Good News about Jesus, the Christ.

¹ Then Paul, fixing a steady gaze on the Sanhedrin, said, "Brethren, it is with a perfectly clear conscience that I have discharged my duties before God up to this day." ² On hearing this the High Priest Ananias ordered those who were standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth. ³ "Before long," exclaimed Paul, "God will strike you, you white-washed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me in accordance with the Law, and do you yourself actually break the Law by ordering me to be struck?" ⁴ "Do you rail at God's High Priest?" cried the men who stood by him. ⁵ "I did not know, brethren," replied Paul, "that he was the High Priest; for it is written, 'THOU SHALT NOT SPEAK EVIL OF A RULER OF THY PEOPLE.'" ⁶ Noticing, however, that the Sanhedrin consisted partly of Sadducees and partly of Pharisees, he called out loudly among them, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. It is because of my hope of a resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial." ⁷ These words of his caused an angry dispute between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly took different sides. ⁸ For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of both. ⁹ So there arose a great uproar; and some of the Scribes belonging to the sect of the Pharisees sprang to their feet and fiercely contended, saying, "We find no harm in the man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel----!" ¹⁰ But when the struggle was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by the people, ordered the troops to go down and take him from among them by force and bring him into the barracks. ¹¹ The following night the Lord came and stood at Paul's side, and said, "Be of good courage, for as you have borne faithful witness about me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome." ¹² Now, when daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and solemnly swore not to eat or drink till they had killed Paul. ¹³ There were more than forty of them who bound themselves by this oath. ¹⁴ They went to the High Priests and Elders and said to them, "We have bound ourselves under a heavy curse to take no food till we have killed Paul. ¹⁵ Now therefore you and the Sanhedrin should make representations to the Tribune for him to bring him down to you, under the impression that you intend to inquire more minutely about him; and we are prepared to assassinate him before he comes near the place." ¹⁶ But Paul's sister's son heard of the intended attack upon him. So he came and went into the barracks and told Paul about it; ¹⁷ and Paul called one of the Captains and said, "Take this young man to the Tribune, for he has information to give him." ¹⁸ So he took him and brought him to the Tribune, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me to him and begged me to bring this youth to you, because he has something to say to you." ¹⁹ Then the Tribune, taking him by the arm, withdrew out of the hearing of others and asked him, "What have you to tell me?" ²⁰ "The Jews," he replied, "have agreed to request you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin to-morrow for the purpose of making yourself more accurately acquainted with the case. ²¹ I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him; and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving that promise of you." ²² So the Tribune sent the youth home, cautioning him. "Do not let any one know that you have given me this information," he said.
