Acts 5:37-41

New International Version

³⁷ After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census^(A) and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. ³⁸ Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.^{(B) 39} But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”^(C)

⁴⁰ His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged.^(D) Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

⁴¹ The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing^(E) because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.^(F)
