Acts 5:36 in Context — Acts 5

34 Mas, levantando-se no supremo conselho um certo fariseu, de nome Gamaliel, instrutor da Lei, bem honrado por todo o povo, ele mandou levarem aos apóstolos para fora por um pouco [de tempo] .

35 E lhes disse: Homens israelitas, olhai por vós mesmos, quanto ao que haveis de fazer a estes homens;

36 Porque antes destes dias se levantou Teudas, dizendo ser alguém; ao qual se ajuntaram cerca de quatrocentos homens; ao qual foi morto, e todos os que acreditavam [nele] foram dispersos, e reduzidos a nada.

37 Depois deste se levantou Judas, o galileu, nos dias do censo; e perverteu muito do povo atrás dele; e este também pereceu, e todos os que acreditavam nele foram dispersos.

38 E agora, eu vos digo, afastai-vos destes homens, e deixai-os; porque se este conselho ou esta obra for humana, ela se desfará.
