Acts 5:39

Gamaliel's Advice

³⁸ And now I say to you, Withdraw from these men and let them alone, for if this counsel or this work have its origin from men, it will be destroyed; ³⁹ but if it be from God, ye will not be able to put them down, lest ye be found also fighters against God. ⁴⁰ And they listened to his advice; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and enjoined them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
