Acts 4:13-22

13Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and figured out they were laymen without training, they were amazed. They began to realize that these men had been with Yeshua.

14But seeing the healed man standing with them, they had nothing to say in response.

15When they had ordered Peter and John to go out of the council chamber, they began to confer with one another,

16saying, “What shall we do with these men? For indeed, it’s obvious to everyone living in Jerusalem that a remarkable miracle has happened through them, and we cannot deny it.

17But so it won’t spread any further among the people, let’s warn them not to speak anymore to anyone in this name.”

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

19But Peter and John replied, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you decide.

20For we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

21After threatening them again, they let them go—finding no way they could punish them on account of the people, because they all were glorifying God for what had happened.

22For the man in whom this miracle of healing had happened was more than forty years old.
