Acts 5:33

31 ^aHim God has exalted to His right hand to be ^bPrince and ^cSavior, ^dto give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

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.

<< Acts 5:32

Acts 5:34 >>

They were cut to the heart - , Literally, they were sawn through, from through, and , to saw. They were stung to the heart, not with compunction nor remorse, but with spite, malice, and revenge: for, having the murder of Christ thus brought home to their consciences, in the first feelings of their malice and revenge, they thought of destroying the persons who had witnessed their nefarious conduct.
