| 5:38 | And now I saye vnto you: refrayne yor selues fro these men, and let the go. Yf this councell or worke be of me, it wil come to naught: |
| 5:39 | but yf it be of God, ye are not able to destroye it, lest ye be founde to be the men, that wil stryue agaynst God. |
| 5:40 | Then they agreed vnto him, and called the Apostles, and bet them, and commaunded them, that they shulde speake nothinge in the name of Iesu, and let them go. |
| 5:41 | But they departed from the presence of the councell, reioysinge, that they were worthy to suffre rebuke for his names sake. |
