Deeds (Act) of Apostles 5:33-42

³³When they heard these things, they were tormented, and thought to slay them.

³⁴But a man rose in the council, a Pharisee, Gamaliel by name, a doctor of the law, a worshipful man to all the people, and commanded the men to be put withoutforth for a while.

³⁵And he said to them, Ye men of Israel, take attention to yourselves on these men, what ye shall do.

³⁶For before these days Theudas, that said himself to be some man, to whom a number of men consented, about four hundred; which was slain, and all that believed to him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

³⁷After this, Judas of Galilee was in the days of profession, and turned away the people after him; and all how many ever consented to him, were dispersed, and he perished.

³⁸And now therefore I say to you, depart ye from these men, and suffer ye them; for if this counsel either work is of men, it shall be undone;

³⁹but if it is of God, ye may not undo them, lest peradventure ye be found to repugn against God.

⁴⁰And they consented to him; and they called together the apostles, and announced to them, that were beaten, that they should no more speak in the name of Jesus, and they let them go.

⁴¹And they went joying from the sight of the council, that they were had worthy to suffer despising for the name of Jesus.

⁴²But each day they ceased not in the temple, and about houses, to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
