But if it is from God, you will not be able to destroy them — and you may find that you are fighting against God.”
In context
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. 41So they left the Sanhedrin rejoicing that they had been counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
