The Acts

¹⁷But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. ¹⁸And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. ¹⁹But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye: ²⁰for we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard. ²¹And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done. ²²For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought. ²³And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto them.
