Acts 4:15-25

¹⁵Then they commanded them to goe aside out of the Council, and conferred among themselues,

¹⁶Saying, What shall we doe to these men? for surely a manifest signe is done by them, and it is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Hierusalem: and we cannot denie it.

¹⁷But that it be noysed no farther among the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hencefoorth to no man in this Name.

¹⁸So they called them, and commanded them, that in no wise they should speake or teach in the Name of Iesus.

¹⁹But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather then God, iudge ye.

²⁰For we cannot but speake the things which we haue seene and heard.

²¹So they threatened them, and let them goe, and found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done.

²²For the man was aboue fourtie yeeres olde, on whome this miracle of healing was shewed.

²³Then assoone as they were let goe, they came to their fellowes, and shewed all that the hie Priestes and Elders had said vnto them.

²⁴And when they heard it, they lift vp their voyces to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou art the God which hast made the heaue, and the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,

²⁵Which by the mouth of thy seruant Dauid hast saide, Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people imagine vaine things?
