Acts 5:38 In-Context

36 For before these days Theudas rose up, boasting himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and brought to nought.
37 After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed.
38 And now I say unto you, refrain from these men and let them alone, for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
39 but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it, lest it may happen ye be found even to fight against God."
40 And with him they agreed. And when they had called the apostles back and had beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
