Acts 5:29-34

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

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

³¹It 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.

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

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

³⁴But 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.
