44:005:026 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them
           without violence:  for they feared the people, lest they should
           have been stoned.

44:005:027 And when they had brought them, they set them before the
           council:  and the high priest asked them,

44:005:028 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not
           teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with
           your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

44:005:029 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought
           to obey God rather than men.

44:005:030 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and
           hanged on a tree.

44:005:031 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a
           Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of
           sins.

44:005:032 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the
           Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

44:005:033 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took
           counsel to slay them.

44:005:034 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named
           Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the
           people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little
           space;

44:005:035 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves
           what ye intend to do as touching these men.

44:005:036 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be
           somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined
           themselves:  who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him,
           were scattered, and brought to nought.

44:005:037 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the
           taxing, and drew away much people after him:  he also perished;
           and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.

44:005:038 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them
           alone:  for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will
           come to nought: 

44:005:039 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be
           found even to fight against God.

44:005:040 And to him they agreed:  and when they had called the apostles,
           and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in
           the name of Jesus, and let them go.

44:005:041 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing
           that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

44:005:042 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not
           to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
