Acts 4:15-21

15But when they had orderedG2753 them to leaveG565 the 12CouncilG4892, they began to conferG4820 with oneG240 anotherG240,

16sayingG3004, “3WhatG5101 shall we doG4160 with theseG3778 menG444? For the factG3754 that a 4noteworthyG1110 5miracleG4592 has takenG1096 placeG1096 throughG1223 them is apparentG5318 to allG3956 who liveG2730 in JerusalemG2419, and we cannotG1410G3756 denyG720 it.

17But soG2443 that it will not spreadG1268 anyG1909 furtherG1909G4183 amongG1519 the peopleG2992, let us warnG546 them to speakG2980 noG3371 longerG3371 to anyG3367 manG444 6in thisG3778 nameG3686.”

18And when they had summonedG2564 them, they 7commandedG3853 them not to speakG5350 orG3366 teachG1321 at allG2527 8in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424.

19But 9PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “10WhetherG1487 it is rightG1342 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316 to giveG191 heedG191 to you ratherG3123 thanG2228 to GodG2316, you be the judgeG2919;

20for 11we cannotG1410G3756 stopG3361 speakingG2980 about whatG3739 we have seenG3708 and heardG191.”

21When they had threatenedG4324 them furtherG4324, they letG630 them goG630 (findingG2147 noG3367 basisG3367 on which to punishG2849 them) 12on accountG1223 of the peopleG2992, becauseG3754 they were allG3956 13glorifyingG1392 GodG2316 for what had happenedG1096;
