Acts 5:38-40

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

³⁸ And as to the things now, I say to you, draw-away from these men and leave them alone. Because if this plan or this work should be from humans, it will be overthrown^[a]; ³⁹ but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them— that you indeed may not perhaps be found to be fighting-against-God”. And they were persuaded by him. ⁴⁰ And having summoned the apostles, having beaten them, they commanded them not to be speaking on the basis of the name of Jesus, and released them.
