Acts 5:34-42

34But a PhariseeG5330 namedG3686 1GamalielG1059, a 2teacherG3547 ofG3547 theG3547 LawG3547, respectedG5093 by allG3956 the peopleG2992, stoodG450 upG450 in 3the CouncilG4892 and gaveG2753 ordersG2753 to putG4160 the menG444 outsideG1854 for a shortG1024 timeG1024. 35And he saidG3004 to them, “MenG435 of IsraelG2475, beG4337 carefulG4337G1438 as to whatG5101 you areG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 doG4238 with theseG3778 menG444. 36For, someG3778 timeG2250 agoG4253 TheudasG2333 appearedG450, 4claimingG3004 to be somebodyG5100, and a groupG706 of aboutG5613 fourG5071 hundredG5071 menG435 joinedG4346 him. 5But he was killedG337, and allG3956 whoG3745 followedG3982 him were dispersedG1262 and cameG1096 to nothingG3762. 37AfterG3326 thisG3778 manG3778, JudasG2455 of GalileeG1057 appearedG450 in the daysG2250 of 6the censusG582 and drewG868 awayG868 some peopleG2992 afterG3694 him; he alsoG2548 perishedG622, and allG3956 those whoG3745 followedG3982 him were scatteredG1287. 38And so in the presentG3568 caseG3568, I sayG3004 to you, stayG868 awayG868 from theseG3778 menG444 and leaveG863 them aloneG863, for ifG1437 the sourceG1537 of thisG3778 planG1012 orG2228 7movementG2041 8is menG444, it will be overthrownG2647; 39but ifG1487 the sourceG1537 is GodG2316, you will not be ableG1410 to overthrowG2647 them; orG3379 elseG3379 you may evenG2532 be foundG2147 9fightingG2314 againstG2314 GodG2314.”

40They followedG3982 his adviceG3982; and after callingG4341 the apostlesG652 in, they 10floggedG1194 them and orderedG3853 them not to 11speakG2980 in the nameG3686 of JesusG2424, and then releasedG630 them. 41SoG3767 they wentG4198 onG4198 their wayG4198 from the presenceG4383 of the 1213CouncilG4892, 14rejoicingG5463 that they had been consideredG2661 worthyG2661 to sufferG818 shameG818 15for His nameG3686. 4216And everyG3956 dayG2250, in the templeG2413 and 17from houseG3624 to houseG3624, they did not stopG3973 teachingG1321 and 18preachingG2097 the goodG2097 newsG2097 of JesusG2424 as the 19ChristG5547.
