Acts 4:16-20

16saying, “What should we do with these men? For it is plain to all who live in Jerusalem that a notable miraculous sign has come about through them, and we cannot deny it.

17But to keep this matter from spreading any further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.”

18And they called them in and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

19But Peter and John replied, “Whether it is right before God to obey you rather than God, you decide,

20for it is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.”
