Acts 4:13-22
13 |
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. |
14 |
And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. |
15 |
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, |
16 |
saying, "What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. |
17 |
But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name. |
18 |
So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. |
19 |
But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. |
20 |
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. |
21 |
So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done. |
22 |
For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed. |
