30 When he had said these things, the king stood up, as well as the governor and Bernice and those who sat with them; 31 and when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, (A)“This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains.”

32 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set (B)free (C)if he had not appealed to Caesar.”

22 But I say to you that (A)whoever is angry with his brother [a]without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, (B)‘Raca!’[b] shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, [c]‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of [d]hell fire.

34 Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named (A)Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel, [a]take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men. 36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, [b]joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing. 37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed. 38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; 39 (B)but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found (C)to fight against God.”

40 And they agreed with him, and when they had (D)called for the apostles (E)and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 So they departed from the presence of the council, (F)rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for [c]His name. 42 And daily (G)in the temple, and in every house, (H)they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel,(A) a teacher of the law,(B) who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census(C) 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.(D) 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”(E)

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

41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing(G) because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.(H) 42 Day after day, in the temple courts(I) and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news(J) that Jesus is the Messiah.(K)
