⁴⁰ And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten `them', they commanded `them' not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go;

¹⁷ And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,

⁹ `And take ye heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims, and to synagogues, ye shall be beaten, and before governors and kings ye shall be set for my sake, for a testimony to them;

²⁴ from Jews five times forty `stripes' save one I did receive;

²⁸ saying, `Did not we strictly command you not to teach in this name? and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.'

¹⁷ but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any man.'

¹⁸ And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus,

¹⁹ and Peter and John answering unto them said, `Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye;

²⁰ for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.'

²¹ And they having further threatened `them', let them go, finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done,

¹ Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge `him',

² and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did place `it' on his head, and a purple garment they put around him,

⁴ Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'

¹⁰ and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send `him' away empty.

⁶ Ye do not prophesy -- they do prophesy, They do not prophesy to these, It doth not remove shame.

¹² And ye cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the prophets ye have laid a charge, Saying, `Do not prophecy!'

¹⁰ Who have said to seers, `Ye do not see,' And to prophets, `Ye do not prophesy to us Straightforward things, Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,

¹⁰ The righteous knoweth the life of his beast, And the mercies of the wicked `are' cruel.
