Acts 5:21-40
21AndG1161 when they heardG191 that, they enteredG1525 intoG1519 the templeG2411 early in the morningG5259G3722, andG2532 taughtG1321. ButG1161 the high priestG749 cameG3854, andG2532 they that were withG4862 himG846, and calledG4779 the councilG4892 togetherG4779, andG2532 allG3956 the eldersG1087 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 sentG649 toG1519 the prisonG1201 to haveG71 themG846 broughtG71. 22ButG1161 when the officersG5257 cameG3854, and foundG2147 themG846 notG3756 inG1722 the prisonG5438, they returnedG390, andG1161 toldG518, 23SayingG3004, The prisonG1201 trulyG3303 we foundG2147 shutG2808 withG1722 allG3956 safetyG803, andG2532 the keepersG5441 standingG2476 outsideG1854 beforeG4253 the doorsG2374: butG1161 when we had openedG455, we foundG2147 no manG3762 withinG2080. 24NowG1161 whenG5613G5037 the high priestG2409 andG2532 the captainG4755 of the templeG2411 andG2532 the chief priestsG749 heardG191 theseG5128 thingsG3056, they were greatly perplexedG1280 aboutG4012 themG846 as to whatG302G5101 would comeG1096 of thisG5124. 25Then cameG3854 oneG5100 andG1161 toldG518 themG846, sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, the menG435 whomG3739 ye putG5087 inG1722 prisonG5438 areG1526 standingG2476 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG2532 teachingG1321 the peopleG2992.
26ThenG5119 wentG565 the captainG4755 withG4862 the officersG5257, and broughtG71 themG846 withoutG3756G3326 violenceG970: forG1063 they fearedG5399 the peopleG2992, lestG3363 they should have been stonedG3034. 27AndG1161 when they had broughtG71 themG846, they setG2476 them beforeG1722 the councilG4892: andG2532 the high priestG749 askedG1905 themG846, 28SayingG3004, DidG3853 we notG3756 strictlyG3852 commandG3853 youG5213 that ye shouldG1321 notG3361 teachG1321 inG1909 thisG5129 nameG3686? andG2532, beholdG2400, ye have filledG4137 JerusalemG2419 with yourG5216 doctrineG1322, andG2532 intendG1014 to bringG1863 thisG5127 man’sG444 bloodG129 uponG1909 usG2248. 29ThenG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 the other apostlesG652 answeredG611 and saidG2036, We oughtG1163 to obeyG3980 GodG2316 ratherG3123 thanG2228 menG444. 30The GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962 raised upG1453 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 slewG1315 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586. 31HimG5126 hath GodG2316 exaltedG5312 with hisG846 right handG1188 to be a PrinceG747 andG2532 a SaviourG4990, to giveG1325 repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2474, andG2532 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266. 32AndG2532 weG2249 areG2070 hisG846 witnessesG3144 of theseG5130 thingsG4487; andG2532 so is alsoG1161 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, whomG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 to them that obeyG3980 himG846. 33WhenG1161 they heardG191 that, they were cutG1282 to the heart, andG2532 took counselG1011 to slayG337 themG846. 34ThenG1161 stood upG450 oneG5100 inG1722 the councilG4892, a PhariseeG5330, namedG3686 GamalielG1059, a teacher of the lawG3547, had in reputationG5093 among allG3956 the peopleG2992, and commandedG2753 to putG4160 the apostlesG652 forthG1854 aG5100 little timeG1024; 35AndG5037 saidG2036 toG4314 themG846, Ye menG435 of IsraelG2475, take heedG4337 to yourselvesG1438 whatG5101 ye intendG3195 to doG4238 concerningG1909 theseG5125 menG444. 36ForG1063 beforeG4253 theseG5130 daysG2250 roseG450 TheudasG2333, boastingG3004 himselfG1438 to beG1511 somebodyG5100; to whomG3739 a numberG706 of menG435, aboutG5616 four hundredG5071, joined themselvesG4347: whoG3739 was slainG337; andG2532 allG3956, as many asG3745 obeyedG3982 himG846, were scatteredG1262, andG2532 broughtG1096 toG1519 noughtG3762.1 37AfterG3326 this manG5126 roseG450 JudasG2455 of GalileeG1057 inG1722 the daysG2250 of the taxingG582, andG2532 drew awayG868 manyG2425 peopleG2992 afterG3694 himG846: he alsoG2548 perishedG622; andG2532 allG3956, even as many asG3745 obeyedG3982 himG846, were dispersedG1287.2 38AndG2532 nowG3569 I sayG3004 to youG5213, Stay awayG868 fromG575 theseG5130 menG444, andG2532 letG1439 themG846 aloneG1439: forG3754 ifG1437 thisG3778 counselG1012 orG2228 thisG5124 workG2041 isG5600 fromG1537 menG444, it will come to nothingG2647: 39ButG1161 ifG1487 it isG2076 fromG1537 GodG2316, ye cannotG3756G1410 overthrowG2647 itG846; lest perhapsG3379 ye be foundG2147 evenG2532 to fight against GodG2314. 40AndG1161 to himG846 they assentedG3982: andG2532 when they had calledG4341 the apostlesG652, and beatenG1194 them, they commandedG3853 that they shouldG2980 notG3361 speakG2980 inG1909 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424, andG2532 letG630 themG846 goG630.
