Acts 4:21

21 They threatened them some more but finally let them go - they couldn't punish them because of the people, for everyone was praising God over what had happened,

Acts 4:21 In-Context

19 But Kefa and Yochanan answered, "You must judge whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than God.
20 As for us, we can't help talking about what we have actually seen and heard."
21 They threatened them some more but finally let them go - they couldn't punish them because of the people, for everyone was praising God over what had happened,
22 since the man who had been miraculously healed was more than forty years old.
23 Upon being released, they went back to their friends and reported what the head cohanim and elders had said to them.
