Acts 5:37 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 5:37

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.

37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed.

38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;

39 ^abut if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found ^bto fight against God.”
