Acts 4:13-22

13But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and uninstructed men, they wondered; and they recognised them that they were with Jesus.

14And beholding the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to reply;

15but having commanded them to go out of the council they conferred with one another,

16saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed an evident sign has come to pass through their means is manifest to all that inhabit Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

17But that it be not further spread among the people, let us threaten them severely no longer to speak to any man in this name.

18And having called them, they charged [them] not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

19But Peter and John answering said to them, If it be righteous before 1God to listen to you rather than to 2God, judge ye;

20for as for us we cannot refrain from speaking of the things which we have seen and heard.

21But they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way how they might punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified 3God for what had taken place;

22for the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was above forty years old.
