Acts 5:34–42

³⁴Then stood there up one in ^jthe council, a Pharisee, named ^kGamaliel, ^la doctor of law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; ³⁵and said unto them, Ye men of Israel, ^mtake heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. ³⁶For before these days rose up Theudas, ⁿboasting 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. ³⁷After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of ^othe taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. ³⁸And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: ^pfor if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: ³⁹but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even ^qto fight against God. ⁴⁰And to him they agreed: and when they had ^rcalled the apostles, and ^sbeaten them, they ^rcommanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. ⁴¹And they departed from the presence of ^jthe council, ^trejoicing that they were ^ucounted worthy to suffer shame for his name. ⁴²And daily ^xin the temple, and ^yin every house, ^zthey ceased not to teach and ^apreach Jesus Christ.
