¹³ but ^(A)never again prophesy at Bethel, for ^(B)it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.”

³² And Jeroboam appointed a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month like ^(A)the feast that was in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he made. And he placed in Bethel ^(B)the priests of the high places that he had made.

²⁹ And he set one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.

A Man of God Confronts Jeroboam

13 And behold, ^(A)a man of God came out of Judah by the word of the Lord to Bethel. Jeroboam was standing by the altar ^(B)to make offerings.

⁴⁰ and ^(A)when they had called in the apostles, ^(B)they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

²⁸ saying, ^(A)“We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you ^(B)intend to bring this man's blood upon us.”

¹⁷ But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them ^(A)to speak no more to anyone in this name.” ¹⁸ So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
