Acts 5:26-36 in English

²⁶ Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, but without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

²⁷ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

²⁸ saying, We strictly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree.

³¹ Him did God exalt with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

³² And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

³³ But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were minded to slay them.

³⁴ But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honor of all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while.

³⁵ And he said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as touching these men, what ye are about to do.

³⁶ For before these days rose up Theudas, giving himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nought.

²⁶ Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

²⁷ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

²⁸ Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

²⁹ Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

³¹ Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

³² And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

³³ When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

³⁴ Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

³⁵ And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

³⁶ For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

²⁶ Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them, but without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

²⁷ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

²⁸ saying, We straitly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree.

³¹ Him did God exalt with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

³² And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

³³ But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were minded to slay them.

³⁴ But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honour of all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while.

³⁵ And he said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as touching these men, what ye are about to do.

³⁶ For before these days rose up Theudas, giving himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nought.

²⁶ So the captain of the Temple guards went to the Temple courtyard with the officers, and they brought the apostles back to the Council room. But they did not treat them roughly, because they were afraid that the people would kill them by throwing stones at them if they hurt the apostles.

²⁷ After the captain and his officers had brought the apostles to the Council room, they commanded them to stand in front of the Council members, and the high priest questioned them.

²⁸ He said to them accusingly, “We (exc) strongly commanded you not to teach people about that man MTY Jesus But you have disobeyed us, and you have taught people all over Jerusalem about him! Furthermore, you are trying to make it seem that we (exc) are the ones who are guilty MTY for that man's death!”

²⁹ But Peter, speaking for himself and the other apostles, replied, “We (exc) have to obey what God commands us to do, not what you people tell us to do!

³⁰ God considers that you are the ones who killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross! But God, whom our ancestors worshipped, ◄caused Jesus to become alive again after he died/raised Jesus from the dead►.

³¹ God has greatly honored Jesus. He has taken him up to heaven! He has authorized him to be the one who will save us and to rule over our lives! God did this so that he might enable us Israelites MTY to turn away from our sinful behavior and that he might forgive us for our sins.

³² We (exc) tell people about these things that we know happened to Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, whom God has sent to us who obey him, is also confirming that these things are true.”

³³ When the Council members heard those words, they became very angry with the apostles, and they wanted to kill them.

³⁴ But there was a Council member named Gamaliel. He was a Pharisee, and one who taught people the Jewish laws, and all the Jewish people respected him. He stood up in the Council and told guards to take the apostles out of the room for a short time.

³⁵ After the guards had taken the apostles out, he said to the other Council members, “Fellow Israelites, you need to think carefully about what you are about to do to these men, and I will tell you why.

³⁶ Some years ago a man named Theudas rebelled against the Roman government. He told people that he was an important person, and about four hundred men joined him. But he was killed { soldiers killed him} and all those who had been accompanying him were scattered. So they were not able to do anything that they had planned.

²⁶ Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

²⁷ When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

²⁸ saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

³¹ God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

³² We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

³³ But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

³⁴ But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

³⁵ He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

³⁶ For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.

²⁶ Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

²⁷ When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

²⁸ saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

³⁴ But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

³⁵ He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

³⁶ For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.

²⁸ saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

³¹ God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

³² We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

³³ But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

³⁴ But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honoured by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

³⁵ He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

³⁶ For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.

²⁶ Then the captain and some of the police went and took them, but not violently, for fear that they might be stoned by the people.

²⁷ And they took them into the Sanhedrin, and the high priest said to them,

²⁸ We gave you very clear orders not to give teaching in this name: and now Jerusalem is full of your teaching, and you are attempting to make us responsible for this man's death.

²⁹ But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said, We have to do the orders of God, not of man.

³⁰ The God of our fathers gave Jesus back to life, whom you had put to death, hanging him on a tree.

³¹ Him God has put on high at his right hand, as a Ruler and a Saviour, to give to Israel a change of heart and forgiveness of sins.

³² And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who keep his laws.

³³ But when these words came to their ears, they were cut to the heart, and had a mind to put them to death.

³⁴ But one of the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a man of learning in the law, of whom all the people had a high opinion, got up and made a suggestion for the men to be put outside for a little time.

³⁵ And he said to them, Men of Israel, take care what you do about these men.

³⁶ For before this there was Theudas, who said he was someone important, to whom about four hundred men gave their support: he was put to death, and his band was broken up and came to nothing.

²⁶ Then the captain, having gone with the officers, brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

²⁷ And they bring them and set them in the council. And the high priest asked them,

²⁸ saying, We strictly enjoined you not to teach in this name: and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and purpose to bring upon us the blood of this man.

²⁹ But Peter answering, and the apostles, said, God must be obeyed rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom ye have slain, having hanged on a cross.

³¹ Him has God exalted by his right hand as leader and saviour, to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.

³² And we are his witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, which God has given to those that obey him.

³³ But they, when they heard these things, were cut to the heart, and took counsel to kill them.

³⁴ But a certain man, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honour of all the people, rose up in the council, and commanded to put the men out for a short while,

³⁵ and said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as regards these men what ye are going to do;

³⁶ for before these days Theudas rose up, alleging himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, were joined; who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.

²⁶ Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

²⁷ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

²⁸ Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.

³¹ Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

³² And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.

³³ When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.

³⁴ But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while.

³⁵ And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.

³⁶ For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing.

²⁶ Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence, for they were afraid of the people, lest they be stoned.

²⁷ And they brought them, and set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

²⁸ saying, “Did we not give you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to bring on us the blood of this Man!”

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered, and said: “We must obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you murdered by hanging on a tree.

³¹ Him God has exalted to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

³² And we are His witnesses of these words, and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

³³ But when they heard this, they were infuriated and were resolving to kill them.

³⁴ Then someone in the council stood up, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a short time.

³⁵ And he said to them: “Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves to these men, as to what you are about to do.

³⁶ For before these days, Theudas rose up, claiming himself to be someone, to whom was joined a number of men, about four hundred. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.

²⁶ Then the captain went with the operatives and brought them without violence, because they were afraid that the people might stone them.

²⁷ So bringing them they set them before the Sanhedrin; and the high priest addressed them

²⁸ saying: “Did we not emphatically command you not to teach in this name? Just look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood on us!”

²⁹ So in answer Peter and the Apostles said: “One must obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you murdered by hanging on a tree.

³¹ Him God has exalted to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

³² And we are witnesses to these statements about Him, as also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those obeying Him.”

³³ Well upon hearing it they became infuriated and started plotting to kill them.

³⁴ But someone in the council stood up (a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law respected by all the people) and commanded to put the Apostles out for a bit.

³⁵ He then said to them: “Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves concerning these men, as to what you are about to do.

³⁶ For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody; with whom about four hundred men joined up; who was killed, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.

²⁶ So the captain went with his guards and brought them in, but did not use force because they were afraid that the people would stone them.

²⁷ The apostles were brought in and made to stand in front of the council.

²⁸ “Didn't we order you not to teach in this name?” the high priest demanded to know. “Now look—you've filled the whole of Jerusalem with your teaching, and you're trying to blame us for his death!”

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered, “We have to obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our forefathers raised Jesus from the dead—the one you killed by hanging him on a cross.

³¹ God exalted him to a position of honor at his right hand as Prince and Savior, as a way to bring repentance to Israel, and for the forgiveness of sins.

³² We are witnesses of what happened, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

³³ When the council heard this they were furious and wanted to kill them.

³⁴ But then one of the council members stood up to speak. He was Gamaliel, a Pharisee and a doctor of law who was respected by everyone. He ordered the apostles sent out for a short while.

³⁵ Gamaliel addressed the council: “Leaders of Israel, be careful what you plan to do to these men.

³⁶ Some time ago Theudas tried to make a name for himself, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed and all who followed him were scattered and it came to nothing.

²⁶ Then went the captaine with the officers, and brought them without violence (for they feared the people, lest they should haue bene stoned)

²⁷ And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, and the chiefe Priest asked them,

²⁸ Saying, Did not we straightly commaund you, that ye should not teach in this Name? and behold, ye haue filled Hierusale with your doctrine, and ye would bring this mans blood vpon vs.

²⁹ Then Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers hath raised vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on a tree.

³¹ Him hath God lift vp with his right hand, to be a Prince and a Sauiour, to giue repentance to Israel, and forgiuenes of sinnes.

³² And we are his witnesses concerning these things which we say: yea, and the holy Ghost, whome God hath giuen to them that obey him.

³³ Now when they heard it, they brast for anger, and consulted to slay them.

³⁴ Then stoode there vp in the Councill a certaine Pharise named Gamaliel, a doctour of the Lawe, honoured of all the people, and commanded to put the Apostles forth a litle space,

³⁵ And sayd vnto them, Men of Israel, take heede to your selues, what ye intende to doe touching these men.

³⁶ For before these times, rose vp Theudas boasting himselfe, to whom resorted a number of men, about a foure hundreth, who was slaine: and they all which obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

²⁶ Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

²⁷ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

²⁸ saying, Did not we straitly command you that you should not teach in this name? and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

²⁹ Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

³¹ Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

³² And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

³³ When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

³⁴ Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

³⁵ and said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

³⁶ For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

²⁶ Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, that they might not be stoned; for they feared the people.

²⁷ And having brought them, they set them before the council. And the high-priest questioned them,

²⁸ saying, We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and mean to bring this man's blood upon us.

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew by hanging him on a cross;

³¹ him hath God exalted by his right hand, as a Leader and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

³² And we are his witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit which God hath given to those who obey him.

³³ But when they heard this, they were filled with rage, and were resolving to kill them.

³⁴ But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, in high esteem with all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while,

³⁵ and said to them of the council, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as to what ye are about to do in respect to these men.

³⁶ For before these days arose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and came to nought.

²⁶ Then, the officer went with his men and fetched the apostles — without using violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people —

²⁷ And then brought them before the Council. The high priest demanded an explanation from them.

²⁸ “We gave you strict orders,” he said, “not to teach in this name. Yet you have actually flooded Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to make us responsible for the death of this man.”

²⁹ To this Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than people.

³⁰ The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a cross.

³¹ It is this Jesus whom God has exalted to his right hand, to be a guide and a Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.

³² And we are witness to the truth of this, and so is the Holy Spirit — the gift of God to those who obey him.”

³³ The members of the Council became frantic with rage on hearing this, and were for putting the apostles to death.

³⁴ But Gamaliel, a Pharisee, who was a Doctor of the Law and who was held in universal respect, rose in the Council, and directed that the men should be taken out of court for a little while.

³⁵ He then said, “People of Israel, take care as to what you intend to do with these men.

³⁶ For not long ago Theudas appeared, professing to be somebody, and was joined by a body of some four hundred men. But he was killed; and all his followers scattered and dwindled away.

²⁶ Then, the officer went with his men and fetched the apostles — without using violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people —

²⁷ And then brought them before the Council. The high priest demanded an explanation from them.

²⁸ “We gave you strict orders,” he said, “not to teach in this name. Yet you have actually flooded Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to make us responsible for the death of this man.”

²⁹ To this Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than people.

³⁰ The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a cross.

³¹ It is this Jesus whom God has exalted to his right hand, to be a guide and a Savior, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.

³² And we are witness to the truth of this, and so is the Holy Spirit — the gift of God to those who obey him.”

³³ The members of the Council became frantic with rage on hearing this, and were for putting the apostles to death.

³⁴ But Gamaliel, a Pharisee, who was a Doctor of the Law and who was held in universal respect, rose in the Council, and directed that the men should be taken out of court for a little while.

³⁵ He then said, “People of Israel, take care as to what you intend to do with these men.

³⁶ For not long ago Theudas appeared, professing to be somebody, and was joined by a body of some four hundred men. But he was killed; and all his followers scattered and dwindled away.

²⁶ So the boss of those soldiers went there with his men and they got the close followers of Jesus. But they were not rough on them and they didn’t force them to come. They just asked them to come quietly. The soldiers didn’t want to hurt them. They were frightened, because they thought the people there might get angry and throw stones to try to kill them.

²⁷ The soldiers brought the close followers of Jesus to the Jewish council men to talk to them. Then the big boss of the Jewish ceremonies growled at them and said,

²⁸ “We told you not to teach about Jesus. But you didn’t listen to us. You told everyone in Jerusalem about him. You want people to think that we killed him. You are blaming us.”

²⁹ Peter stood there with the other close followers of Jesus, and he said, “We’ve got to listen to God and do whatever he says, and not listen to people.

³⁰ You got men to kill Jesus by nailing him to a cross. But God made him alive again. We Jewish people respect God, and so did our grand-fathers from a long time ago. That same God made Jesus alive again

³¹ and gave him the best place in heaven, right next to God himself, on his right side. And God made Jesus our leader, the one that can save us. And God did this so that all the Israel people can turn back to him and stop doing bad things, and then he will not punish them.

³² We saw everything that Jesus did, so we tell everyone all about it. And God gave his Holy Spirit to the people that follow Jesus, and that Holy Spirit does powerful things, to show everyone that what we say is true.”

³³ The Jewish council men heard Peter talking like that and they were really angry. They wanted to kill those close followers of Jesus.

³⁴ But one of the Jewish council men stood up in the meeting. He was called Gamaliel. He was a Jewish law man, one of the mob called Pharisees. All the people knew he was a good man and they respected him. Gamaliel told the soldiers, “Take these followers of Jesus outside for a while.”

³⁵ Then he said to the council men, “Listen, you Israel mob. We have to think carefully now. You want to kill those men, but listen to this.

³⁶ A while ago there was a man called Theudas. He got up to fight the Roman government. He told everyone that he was great, and about 400 men listened to him and followed him to fight the Romans. But he died in that fight, and his followers all ran away. So in the end nothing happened.

²⁶ Then went the ruler of the temple with ministers and brought the with out violence. For they feared the people lest they shuld have bene stoned.

²⁷ And when they had brought them they set them before the counsell. And the chefe preste axed them

²⁸ sayinge: dyd not we straytely commaunde you that ye shuld not teache in this name? And beholde ye have filled Ierusalem with youre doctrine and ye intende to brynge this mans bloud vpon vs.

²⁹ Peter and the other Apostles answered and sayde: We ought moare to obey God then men.

³⁰ The God of oure fathers raysed vp Iesus whom ye slewe and hanged on tre.

³¹ Him hath god lifte vp with his right hand to be a ruler and a savioure for to geve repentaunce to Israell and forgevenes of synnes.

³² And we are his recordes concernynge these thinges and also the holy goost whom God hath geve to them that obey him.

³³ When they hearde that they clave asunder: and sought meanes to slee them.

³⁴ Then stode ther vp one in the counsell a Pharisey named Gamaliel a doctoure of lawe had in auctorite amonge all the people and commaunded to put the Apostles a syde a lytell space

³⁵ and sayde vnto them: Men of Israel take hede to youre selves what ye entende to do as touchinge these men.

³⁶ Before these dayes rose vp one Theudas bostinge him selfe to whom resorted a nombre of men about a foure hondred which was slayn and they all which beleved him were scatred a broode and brought to nought.

²⁶ So the captain went with the officers, and brought them back, but without violence, for they feared that the people might stone them.

²⁷ When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest interrogated them,

²⁸ saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and desire to bring this man's blood upon us.”

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.

³¹ God exalted him to his right hand to be a prince and a savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

³² We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

³³ When the council members heard this, they were furious and wanted to kill the apostles.

³⁴ But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up and commanded the apostles to be taken outside for a little while.

³⁵ Then he said to them, “Men of Israel, pay close attention to what you propose to do with these people.

³⁶ For some time ago, Theudas rose up claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who had been obeying him were scattered and came to nothing.

²⁶ Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

²⁷ When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

²⁸ saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

²⁹ But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

³¹ God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
