¹⁶Saying, ^bWhat shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is ^cmanifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. ¹⁷But that it spread no further among the people, let us ^dstraitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. ¹⁸And they ^ecalled them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

“What should we do with these men?” they asked each other. “We can’t deny that they have performed a miraculous sign, and everybody in Jerusalem knows about it.
