17 "But lest it may be spread further among the Am Yisroel, let us warn them no longer to speak to any man b'shem hazeh (in this name)."
18 And, having summoned them, they commanded them not to say drashot or shiurim b'shem Yehoshua at all. [AMOS 7:13]
19 But Kefa and Yochanan in reply said to them, "If it is tov before Hashem to listen to you rather than to Hashem, you be the Beit Din Dayan;
20 "For we are not able to cease speaking about what we saw and heard [as edei re'iyah (eyewitnesses)]." [IYOV 32:18; YIRMEYAH 20:9; AMOS 3:8]
21 And when they had threatened them further, they released them, finding no basis on which they might punish them, because of the people, vi-bahlt all were crying "Baruch Hashem!" on account of what had happened.
22 For the man was more than ben arba'im shanah, upon whom this ot of refu'ah had been brought about.
23 And, after having been released, the Moshiach's Shlichim came to their own, and reported all the things the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim had said to them.
