Acts 5:38 in Context — Acts 5
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.
39 Mas se é de Deus, vós não a podereis desfazer; para que não venhais a ser achados de também lutardes contra Deus.
40 E concordaram com ele. E chamando aos apóstolos, tendo [os] açoitado, mandaram [-lhes] que não [mais] falassem no nome de Jesus; e os deixaram ir.
