So in the present case I tell you: keep away from these men and let them alone. If this plan or this work is of human origin, it will collapse.
In context
36Some time ago Theudas came forward, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men attached themselves to him. He was killed, all who followed him scattered, and it came to nothing. 37After him, in the days of the census, Judas the Galilean came forward and drew people away after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered. 38So in the present case I tell you: keep away from these men and let them alone. If this plan or this work is of human origin, it will collapse. 39But if it is from God, you will not be able to destroy them — and you may find that you are fighting against God.” 40They were persuaded. They called the apostles in, had them flogged, ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
