Acts 4:13-23

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Kefa and Yochanan, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Yeshua.

14 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

16 saying, "What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Yerushalayim, and we can't deny it.

17 But so that this spreads no further among the people, let's threaten them, that from now on they don't speak to anyone in this name."

18 They called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Yeshua.

19 But Kefa and Yochanan answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

20 for we can't help telling the things which we saw and heard."

21 They, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

22 For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was performed.

23 Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief Kohanim and the Zakenim had said to them.
