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.
