Acts 4:13-20

13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were amazed and recognized them as companions of Jesus.

14 When they saw the man who had been cured standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition.

15 So they ordered them to leave the council while they discussed the matter with one another.

16 They said, "What will we do with them? For it is obvious to all who live in Jerusalem that a notable sign has been done through them; we cannot deny it.

17 But to keep it from spreading further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name."

18 So they called them and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in God's sight to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge;

20 for we cannot keep from speaking about what we have seen and heard."
