34  Then someone in the council stood up, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a short time.

34  But someone in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, rose up and ordered the men to be put outside briefly.

35  And he said to them: "Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves to these men, as to what you are about to do.

35  Then he said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves, and find out what is the best for you to do about these men.

35  And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.

36  For before these days, Theudas rose up, claiming himself to be someone, to whom was joined a number of men, about four hundred. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.

37  After this arose Judas the Galilean, in the days of the census, and caused considerable number of people after him to revolt. He too perished, and as many as were persuaded by him were scattered.

37  After him rose up Judas, the Gal-i-leÆan, in the days when people were registering for the head tax, and he misled many people into following him. He died; and all of those who followed him were dispersed.

38  And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if the counsel or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;

38  And now therefore, I say to you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or work is of men, it will be broken.

38  So now I tell you, Keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this thought and this work is of men, it will fail and pass away.

39  but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it-lest you even be found fighting against God."

39  Yet truly, if it is of God, you will not be able to break it, and perhaps you might be found to have fought against God.” And they agreed with him.

39  But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

40  And they were persuaded by him, and when they called the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.

40  And calling in the Apostles, having beaten them, they warned them not to speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.

41  Then they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing because they were counted worthy to be dishonored on behalf of the name of Jesus.

41  And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

42  And daily in the temple, and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus the Christ.

42  And every day, in the temple and at home, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus [as] the Christ.

42  And they did not cease to teach daily in the temple and at home and to preach concerning our LORD Jesus Christ.
