Acts 4:13-22
13When they sawG2334 theG3588 boldnessG3954 of PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 andG2532 realizedG2638 thatG3754 they wereG1510 unschooledG62, ordinaryG2399 menG444, they marveledG2296 andG5037 took noteG1921 thatG3754 these men had beenG1510 withG4862 JesusG2424. 14AndG5037 seeingG991 theG3588 manG444 whoG3588 had been healedG2323 standingG2476 there withG4862 themG846, they hadG2192 nothingG3762 to say in responseG483. 15SoG1161 they orderedG2753 themG846 to leaveG565G1854 theG3588 SanhedrinG48921 and then conferredG4820 togetherG4314G240.
16“WhatG5101 shall we doG4160 withG3588 theseG3778 menG444?” they askedG3004. “It is clearG5318 to everyoneG3956 livingG2730 in JerusalemG2419 thatG3754 a remarkableG3303G1110 miracleG4592 has occurredG1096 throughG1223 themG846, andG2532 we cannotG3756G1410 denyG720 it. 17ButG235 toG2443 keep this message from spreadingG3361G1268 any furtherG4119 amongG1909G1519 theG3588 peopleG2992, we must warnG546 themG846 notG3371 to speakG2980 toG3367 anyoneG444 inG1909 thisG3778 nameG3686.”
18ThenG2532 they calledG2564 them inG846 again and commandedG3853 them notG3361 to speakG5350 or teachG1321 at allG2527 inG1909 theG3588 nameG3686 of JesusG2424. 19ButG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 JohnG2491 repliedG611G2036G4314G846, “Judge for yourselvesG2919 whetherG1487 it isG1510 rightG1342 in God’s sightG1799G3588G2316 to listenG191 to youG4771 ratherG3123 thanG2228 GodG2316. 20ForG1063 weG1473 cannotG3756G1410 stopG3361 speaking aboutG2980 whatG3739 we have seenG3708 andG2532 heardG191.”
After further threatsG4324 they let them goG630G846. They could not find a wayG2147G3367G4459 to punishG2849 themG846, becauseG1223 all theG3588 peopleG2992 were glorifyingG3956G1392 GodG2316 forG1909 whatG3588 had happenedG1096. 22ForG1063 theG3588 manG444 whoG3739 was miraculouslyG4592 healedG2392G1096 wasG1510 overG4119 fortyG5062 yearsG2094 old.
