Acts 5:38-40

Living Bible

³⁸ “And so my advice is, leave these men alone. If what they teach and do is merely on their own, it will soon be overthrown. ³⁹ But if it is of God, you will not be able to stop them, lest you find yourselves fighting even against God.”

⁴⁰ The Council accepted his advice, called in the apostles, had them beaten, and then told them never again to speak in the name of Jesus, and finally let them go.
