14And, seeing that the man who had been made well was there with them, they were not able to say anything against it.
15But when they had given them orders to go out of the Sanhedrin, they had a discussion among themselves,
16Saying, What are we to do with these men? for certainly it is clear to all who are living in Jerusalem that a most important sign has been done by them, and it is not possible to say that it is not so.
17But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name.
18And they sent for them, and gave them orders not to make statements or give teaching in the name of Jesus.
19But Peter and John in answer said to them, It is for you to say if it is right in the eyes of God to give attention to you more than to God:
20For it is not possible for us to keep from saying what we have seen and have knowledge of.
