Acts 5:34 - John Wesley's Notes

Acts 5:34

32 And ^awe are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit ^bwhom God has given to those who obey Him.”

Gamaliel’s Advice

33 When they heard this, they were ^afurious and plotted to kill them.

34 Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named ^aGamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while.

35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel,¹ take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men.

36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred,¹ joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.
