Acts 5

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

36 Ref 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.

37 Ref After this man, there was Judas of Galilee, at the time of the numbering, and some of the people went after him: he was put to death, and all his supporters were put to flight.

38 Ref And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing:

39 Ref But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God.

40 Ref And he seemed to them to be right: and they sent for the Apostles, and, after having them whipped and giving them orders to give no teaching in the name of Jesus, they let them go.

41 Ref So they went away from the Sanhedrin, happy to undergo shame for the Name.

42 Ref And every day, in the Temple and privately, they went on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
