And, they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were making up their minds to slay them.

But a certain man, rising up in the high-council, by name Gamaliel, a law-teacher honoured by all the people, gave orders to put the men, outside, for a little, -

And said unto them - Men of Israel! be taking heed unto yourselves, what ye are about to inflict upon these men.

For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody, - unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and came to nothing.

After him, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, were scattered.

Now, therefore, I say unto you - stand aloof from these men, and let them alone; because if, of men, be this project or this work, it will be overthrown, -

But, if it is, of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them: lest once, even fighters against God, ye be found.
