In context
16“What are we to do with these men?” they said. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows that a remarkable sign has been done through them, and we cannot deny it. 17But to keep it from spreading any further among the people, let us warn them never again to speak to anyone in this name.” 18So they called them in and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19But Peter and John answered them, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to listen to you rather than to God. 20For our part, we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
