* When they heard (5660 ) that , they were cut (5712 ) to the heart , and took counsel (5711 ) to slay (5629 ) them . * Then stood there up (5631 ) one in the council , a Pharisee , named Gamaliel , a doctor of the law , had in reputation among all the people , and commanded (5656 ) to put (5658 ) the apostles forth a little space ; * And said (5627 ) unto them , Ye men of Israel , take heed (5720 ) to yourselves what ye intend (5719 ) to do (5721 ) as touching these men . * For before these days rose up (5627 ) Theudas , boasting (5723 ) himself to be (5750 ) somebody ; to whom a number of men , about four hundred , joined themselves (5681 ): who was slain (5681 ); and all , as many as obeyed (5712 ) him , were scattered (5681 ), and brought (5633 ) to nought . * After this man rose up (5627 ) Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing , and drew away (5656 ) much people after him : he also perished (5639 ); and all , even as many as obeyed (5712 ) him , were dispersed (5681 ). * And now I say (5719 ) unto you , Refrain (5628 ) from these men , and let them alone (5657 ): for if this counsel or this work be (5753 ) of men , it will come to nought (5701 ): * But if it be (5748 ) of God , ye cannot (5736 ) overthrow (5658 ) it ; lest haply ye be found (5686 ) even to fight against God . * And to him they agreed (5681 ): and when they had called (5666 ) the apostles , and beaten (5660 ) them , they commanded (5656 ) that they should not speak (5721 ) in the name of Jesus , and let them go (5656 ).
