TSK · Acts 4:21

When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!"

When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.

Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen strange things today."

He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people--for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.

But so that this spreads no further among the people, let's threaten them, that from now on they don't speak to anyone in this name."

They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
