Acts 5:33-40

33

When the Council members heard thisG191, they were enragedG1282, andG2532 they resolvedG10111 to put the apostles to deathG337G846. 34ButG1161 aG5100 PhariseeG5330 namedG3686 GamalielG1059, a teacher of the lawG3547 who was honoredG5093 by allG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992, stood upG450 inG1722 theG3588 SanhedrinG4892 and ordered thatG2753 theG3588 menG444 be putG4160 outsideG1854 for a short timeG1024.

35“MenG435 of IsraelG2475,” he saidG2036, “consider carefullyG4337G1438 whatG5101 you are aboutG3195 to doG4238 toG1909 theseG3778 menG444. 36Some time agoG4253G3778G3588G2250 TheudasG2333 rose upG450, claimingG3004G1438 to beG1510 somebodyG5100, and aboutG5613 four hundredG5071 menG435 joinedG4346 him. He was killedG337, allG3956 his followersG3745G3982G846 were dispersedG1262, andG2532 it all cameG1096 toG1519 nothingG3762. 37AfterG3326 him, JudasG2455 theG3588 GalileanG1057 appearedG450 inG1722 theG3588 daysG2250 of theG3588 censusG582 andG2532 drew awayG868 peopleG2992 afterG3694 himG846. He tooG2548 perishedG622, andG2532 allG3956 his followersG3745G3982G846 were scatteredG1287.

38SoG2532 in the presentG3568 case I adviseG3004 youG4771: LeaveG868G575 theseG3778 men aloneG444. Let them goG863G846! ForG3754 ifG1437 their purposeG1012 orG2228 endeavorG2041 isG1510 ofG1537 human originG444, it will failG2647. 39ButG1161 ifG1487 it isG1510 fromG1537 GodG2316, you will not be ableG3756G1410 to stopG2647 themG846. You may even find yourselvesG3361G4219G2532G2147 fighting against GodG2314.”

40At thisG1161, they yieldedG3982 toG846 Gamaliel. They calledG4341 theG3588 apostlesG652 in and had them floggedG1194. Then they orderedG3853 them notG3361 to speakG2980 inG1909 theG3588 nameG3686 of JesusG2424, andG2532 releasedG630 them.
