Acts 4:13-22 - The Name Forbidden
13 And seeing the freedom of speech of Peter and John, and comprehending that they are illiterate men, and private individuals, they wondered; and they knew them, that they were with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict. 15 And having urged them to depart out of the council, they deliberated with one another, 16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that truly a known sign has been by them, manifest to all them dwelling in Jerusalem: and we cannot deny. 17 But that it be not more and more exposed to the wind among the people, let us threaten them with a threat, to speak no more in this name to any man. 18 And having called them, they enjoined them universally not to utter neither to teach in the name of Jesus.
19 And Peter and John having answered to them, said, If it is just before God to hear you rather than God, judge ye. 20 For we cannot, the things we have seen and heard, not speak.
21 And they having made additional threats, loosed them, finding nothing how they might chastise them, for sake of the people: for all honoured God for that having been done. 22 For the man was more than forty years, upon whom this sign of healing was done.
