Gamaliel’s Counsel
33 But when they heard this, they became (A)furious and intended to kill them. 34 But a Pharisee named (B)Gamaliel, a (C)teacher of the Law, respected by all the people, stood up in (D)the Sanhedrin and gave orders to put the men outside for a short time. 35 And he said to them, “Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men. 36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, (E)claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. [a]But he was killed, and all who [b]were following him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of (F)the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all those who [c]were following him were scattered. 38 So in the present case, I also say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or [d]action (G)is of men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or you may even be found (H)fighting against God.”
