"If its from God, you can do nothing - Acts chpt. 5: 29-39.v."


Acts 5: 29-39.v.
 

5:29 But Peter answering, and the apostles, said, God must be obeyed rather than men.

5:30 The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom *ye* have slain, having hanged on a cross.
5:31 Him has God exalted by his right hand as leader and saviour, to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
5:32 And *we* are [his] witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, which God has given to those that obey him.

5:33 But they, when they heard [these things], were cut to the heart, and took counsel to kill them.

5:34 But a certain [man], a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honour of all the people, rose up in the council, and commanded to put the men out for a short while,
5:35 and said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as regards these men what ye are going to do;
5:36 for before these days Theudas rose up, alleging himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, were joined; who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
5:37 After him rose Judas the Galilean in the days of the census, and drew away [a number of] people after him; and *he* perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

5:38 And now I say to you, Withdraw from these men and let them alone, for if this counsel or this work have its origin from men, it will be destroyed;
5:39 but if it be from God, ye will not be able to put them down, lest ye be found also fighters against God.
