³³ Now when^[a] they heard this,^[b] they were infuriated, and were wanting to execute them. ³⁴ But a certain man stood up in the Sanhedrin,^[c] a Pharisee named^[d] Gamaliel, a teacher of the law respected by all the people, and^[e] gave orders to put the men outside for a short time. ³⁵ And he said to them, “Men and Israelites, take care for yourselves what you are about to do to these men! ³⁶ For before these days, Theudas rose up saying he was somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him.^[f] He^[g] was executed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. ³⁷ After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and caused people to follow him in revolt.^[h] And that one perished, and all who followed him were scattered. ³⁸ And now I tell you, keep away from these men, and leave them alone, because if this plan or this matter is from people, it will be overthrown.^{[i] 39} But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them, lest you even be found fighting against God.” So they were persuaded by him.
