Acts 5:39

Gamaliel's Advice

³⁸ And now say I to you, Depart from these men, and leave them; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it shall be destroyed: ³⁹ And if it is of God, ye cannot destroy it; lest ye also be found contenders against God. ⁴⁰ And by him they were persuaded: and having called the sent, having stripped, they enjoined not to speak in the name of Jesus, and loosed them.
