Acts 4:16-20

16sayingG3004, “1WhatG5101 are we to doG4160 with theseG3778 menG444? For theG3754 factG3754 thatG3754 a 2noteworthyG1110 3miracleG4592 has takenG1096 placeG1096 throughG1223 them is apparentG5318 to allG3956 who liveG2730 in JerusalemG2419, and we cannotG1410G3756 denyG720 it.

17But soG2443 thatG2443 it will not spreadG1268 anyG1909 furtherG1909G4183 amongG1519 the peopleG2992, let’s warnG546 them not to speakG2980 anyG3371 longerG3371 to anyG3367 personG444 4in thisG3778 nameG3686.”

18And when they had summonedG2564 them, they 5commandedG3853 them not to speakG5350 orG3366 teachG1321 atG2527 allG2527 6in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424.

19But 7PeterG4074 and JohnG2491 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “8WhetherG1487 it is rightG1342 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316 to listenG191 to you ratherG3123 thanG2228 to GodG2316, makeG2919 your own judgmentG2919;

20for 9we cannotG1410G3756 stopG3361 speakingG2980 about whatG3739 we have seenG3708 and heardG191.”
