Acts 4:16-23
-
16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
-
17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
-
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
-
19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
-
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
-
21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
-
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
-
23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
