  Thanks for the invitation! B-)

  Below is the account you are refering to. Enjoy it.


 The Leadership of Israel brought in the disciples of Yeshua:

    Acts 5:28 "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he
    said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are
    determined to make us guilty of this man's blood."

    Acts 5:29 Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God
    rather than men!

    Acts 5:30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead--whom
    you had killed by hanging him on a tree.

    Acts 5:31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior
    that he might give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
                                      -----------------------------
    Acts 5:32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy
    Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

    Acts 5:33 When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put
    them to death.

 Here is what you are refering to:
 -------------------------------->
    Acts 5:34-39 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who
    was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered
    that the men be put outside for a little while.
    Then he addressed them: "Men of Israel, consider carefully
    what you intend to do to these men.
    Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody,
    and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his
    followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.
    After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the
    census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and
    all his followers were scattered.
    Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these
    men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human
    origin, it will fail.
    But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these
    men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."

 History records that these men (like those today) were fighting against
 God almighty!

    Acts 5:40 His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and
    had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of
    Jesus, and let them go.

    Acts 5:41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they
    had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.

    Acts 5:42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to
    house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news
    that Jesus is the Christ.

 Amen!!

         Yeshua said:
         For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that
         of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly
         not enter the kingdom of heaven. -Matthew 5:20
