Acts 5:38-40

International Standard Version

³⁸ “I’m telling you to keep away from these men for now. Leave them alone, because if this plan or movement is of human origin, it will fail. ³⁹ However, if it’s from God, you won’t be able to stop them, and you may even discover that you are fighting against God!”

So they were convinced by him. ⁴⁰ After calling in the apostles and beating them, they again^[a] ordered them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus and let them go.
