Acts 5:27-32

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁷ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council, and the prince of the priests asked them,

²⁸ saying, Did we not strictly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.

²⁹ Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We must persuade God rather than men.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree.

³¹ God has exalted him with his right hand as Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

³² And we are his witnesses of these things, and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those that persuade him.
