Acts 5:27-42 - The Apostles On Trial Before The Sanhedrin
27 But, leading them in, set them in the high- council. And the High-priest questioned them, 28 Saying - Strictly, did we charge you not to be teaching upon this name; and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are minded to bring down upon us, the blood of this man.
29 But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said - It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto men: - 30 The God of our fathers, hath raised up Jesus, - whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon a tree: - 31 Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, - to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins. 32 And, we, are witnesses of these things, - also the Holy Spirit, which God hath given unto them who are yielding obedience unto him.
33 And, they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were making up their minds to slay them. 34 But a certain man, rising up in the high-council, by name Gamaliel, a law-teacher honoured by all the people, gave orders to put the men, outside, for a little, - 35 And said unto them - Men of Israel! be taking heed unto yourselves, what ye are about to inflict upon these men. 36 For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody, - unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and came to nothing. 37 After him, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, were scattered. 38 Now, therefore, I say unto you - stand aloof from these men, and let them alone; because if, of men, be this project or this work, it will be overthrown, - 39 But, if it is, of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them: lest once, even fighters against God, ye be found. 40 And they were persuaded by him; and, calling unto them the Apostles, they, with beating, charged them not be speaking upon the name of Jesus; and let them go. 41 They, therefore, went rejoicing from the presence of the high-council; in that they had been accounted worthy, in behalf of The Name, to suffer dishonour. 42 And, every day in the temple, and at home, they ceased not to be teaching, and telling the good news as to the Anointed Jesus.
