Acts 5:38

---

← Acts 5:37	Acts 5:38 (KJV)	Acts 5:39 →
After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, [even] as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.	And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:	But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
