*
Then one in the council stood up ,
a Pharisee named Gamaliel ,
a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people ,
and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while .
*
And he said to them : "
Men of Israel ,
take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men .
*
For some time ago Theudas rose up ,
claiming to be somebody .
A number of men ,
about four hundred ,
joined him .
He was slain ,
and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing .
*
After this man ,
Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census ,
and drew away many people after him .
He also perished ,
and all who obeyed him were dispersed .
*
And now I say to you ,
keep away from these men and let them alone ;
for if this plan or this work is of men ,
it will come to nothing ;
*
but if it is of God ,
you cannot overthrow it--lest you even be found to fight against God ."
