Reading Acts 5:29-42
For if their purpose is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God (vs 38-39, NIV).
Acts 5:38-39, GNB.
[38]And so in this case, I tell you, do not take any action against these men. Leave them alone! If what they have planned and done is of human origin, it will disappear,
[39]but if it comes from God, you cannot possibly defeat them. You could find yourselves fighting against God!”The Council followed Gamaliel’s advice.
