Acts 4:17-21
New International Version
17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”
18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.(A) 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him?(B) You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking(C) about what we have seen and heard.”(D)
21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people(E) were praising God(F) for what had happened.

Acts 4:17-21
New King James Version
17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”
18 (A)So 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 to them, (B)“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 (C)For we cannot but speak the things which (D)we have seen and heard.” 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, (E)because of the people, since they all (F)glorified God for (G)what had been done.
