Acts 5:38-40

GOD’S WORD Translation

³⁸ “We should keep away from these men for now. We should leave them alone. I can guarantee that if the plan they put into action is of human origin, it will fail. ³⁹ However, if it’s from God, you won’t be able to stop them. You may even discover that you’re fighting against God.”

⁴⁰ The council took his advice. They called the apostles, beat them, ordered them not to speak about the one named Jesus, and let them go.
