Because, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it. ¹⁷ But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them to no longer speak to anyone in this name.” ¹⁸ So summoning them they commanded them absolutely not to speak or teach in the name of ‘Jesus’. ¹⁹ But in answer Peter and John said to them: “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves; ²⁰ because we cannot help but speak the things we have seen and heard.” ²¹ So threatening them some more they released them, not finding any way to punish them, because of the people, since they were all glorifying God over what had happened; ²² because the man on whom this miracle of healing had been performed was over forty years old.

Just look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood on us!” ²⁹ So in answer Peter and the Apostles said: “One must obey God rather than men. ³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. ³¹ Him God has exalted to His right hand as Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. ³² And we are witnesses to these statements about Him, as also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those obeying Him.” ³³ Well upon hearing it they became infuriated and started plotting to kill them. ³⁴ But someone in the council stood up (a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law respected by all the people) and commanded to put the Apostles out for a bit. ³⁵ He then said to them: “Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves concerning these men, as to what you are about to do. ³⁶ For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody; with whom about four hundred men joined up; who was killed, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing. ³⁷ Later Judas the Galilean 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. ³⁸ So now I say to you, keep away from these men and leave them alone; because if this counsel or this work should be of men, it will be abolished; ³⁹ but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it—lest you even be found to be fighting against God!” ⁴⁰ Well they were persuaded by him, and summoned the Apostles; after beating them they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. ⁴¹ So they went out rejoicing from the presence of the council, in that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name of the Christ. ⁴² And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they didn’t stop teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you command me to be struck contrary to the law!” ⁴ So those standing by said, “Do you reproach God’s high priest?” ⁵ Then Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he is high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil of a ruler of your people’.” ⁶ Now when Paul perceived that one part were Pharisees and the other Sadducees, he called out in the council, “Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of a Pharisee; I am being judged concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead!” ⁷ When he had said this, an argument started between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. ⁸ (Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel or spirit, but Pharisees confess both.) ⁹ There was a great clamor, and the scribes of the Pharisee party stood up and started arguing vigorously, saying, “We find nothing wrong with this man; but if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God!” ¹⁰ Well the dissension became such that the commander, fearing that Paul might be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and snatch him out of their midst and bring him into the barracks. ¹¹ Now the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, Paul, because as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome”. ¹² And when it was day, some of the Jews formed a conspiracy by binding themselves with a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they had destroyed Paul. ¹³ Now there were more than forty who formed this plot. ¹⁴ They came to the chief priests and the elders and said: “We have bound ourselves with a terrible curse not to taste anything until we have killed Paul. ¹⁵ Now you, therefore, together with the council, explain to the commander that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you are going to determine more accurately the facts in his case; but we are ready to destroy him before he comes near.” ¹⁶ But when Paul’s sister’s son heard about the ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul. ¹⁷ So Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander, because he has something to tell him”. ¹⁸ So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner called me over and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you”. ¹⁹ So taking him by the hand, the commander went aside and asked privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?” ²⁰ So he said: “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him. ²¹ But you should not believe them, because more than forty of their men are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves with a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have destroyed him; even now they are ready, looking for your promise.” ²² Then the commander dismissed the young man commanding, “Don’t tell anyone that you have revealed these things to me!”
