Acts 5:24-39

24NowG1161 whenG5613 1the captainG4755 of the templeG2413 guard and the chiefG749 priestsG749 heardG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056, they were greatlyG1280 perplexedG1280 aboutG4012 them as to whatG5101 2would comeG1096 of thisG3778. 25But someoneG5100 cameG3854 and reportedG518 to them, “The menG435 whomG3739 you putG5087 in prisonG5438 are standingG2476 in the templeG2413 and teachingG1321 the peopleG2992!” 26ThenG5119 3the captainG4755 wentG565 alongG565 with 4the officersG5257 and proceeded to bringG71 them back withoutG3756G3326 violenceG970 (for 5they were afraidG5399 of the peopleG2992, that they might be stonedG3034).

27When they had broughtG71 them, they stoodG2476 them 6beforeG1722 7the CouncilG4892. The highG749 priestG749 questionedG1905 them, 28sayingG3004, “We gaveG3853 you 8strictG3852 ordersG3852 not to continue teachingG1321 in thisG3778 nameG3686, and 9yetG2400, you have filledG4137 JerusalemG2419 with your teachingG1322 and 10intendG1014 to bringG1863 thisG3778 man’sG444 bloodG129 upon us.” 29But PeterG4074 and the apostlesG652 answeredG611, “11We mustG1163 obeyG3980 GodG2316 ratherG3123 thanG2228 menG444. 3012The GodG2316 of our fathersG3962 13raisedG1453 up JesusG2424, 14whomG3739 you had 15putG1315 to deathG1315 by hangingG2910 Him on a 16crossG3586. 3117He is the one whom GodG2316 exaltedG5312 18to His rightG1188 handG1188 as a 1920PrinceG747 and a 21SaviorG4990, to grantG1325 22repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2274, and forgivenessG859 of sinsG266. 32And we are 23witnessesG3144 24of theseG3778 thingsG4487; and 25so is the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, whomG3739 GodG2316 has givenG1325 to thoseG3588 who obeyG3980 Him.”

33But when they heardG191 this, they were 26cutG1282 27to the quickG1282 and intendedG1014 to killG337 them. 34But a PhariseeG5330 namedG3686 28GamalielG1059, a 29teacherG3547 of the LawG3547, respectedG5093 by allG3956 the peopleG2992, stoodG450 up in 30the CouncilG4892 and gaveG2753 ordersG2753 to putG4160 the menG444 outsideG1854 for a shortG1024 timeG1024. 35And he saidG3004 to them, “MenG435 of IsraelG2475, takeG4337 careG4337 whatG5101 you proposeG3195 to doG4238 with theseG3778 menG444. 36For someG3778 timeG2250 agoG4253 TheudasG2333 roseG450 up, 31claimingG3004 to be somebodyG5100, and a groupG706 of aboutG5613 fourG5071 hundredG5071 menG435 joinedG4346 up with him. 32But he was killedG337, and allG3956 whoG3745 33followedG3982 him were dispersedG1262 and cameG1096 to nothingG3762. 37AfterG3326 thisG3778 manG3778, JudasG2455 of GalileeG1057 roseG450 up in the daysG2250 of 34the censusG582 and drewG868 awayG868 some peopleG2992 afterG3694 him; he tooG2548 perishedG622, and allG3956 those whoG3745 35followedG3982 him were scatteredG1287. 38SoG2532 in the presentG3568 caseG3568, I sayG3004 to you, stayG868 awayG868 from theseG3778 menG444 and letG863 them aloneG863, for ifG1437 thisG3778 planG1012 orG2228 36actionG2041 37is of menG444, it will be overthrownG2647; 39but ifG1487 it is of GodG2316, you will not be ableG1410 to overthrowG2647 them; orG3379 elseG3379 you may evenG2532 be foundG2147 38fightingG2314 againstG2314 GodG2314.”
