17. But that it may spread no further among the people, let us strictly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
18. And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19. But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.
20. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
