were filled with indignation,
18 And laid their hands on the shlichim, and put them in
the common prison.
19 But a heavenly malach of the Master vuvh opened the
prison doors at night, and brought them out, and said,
20 Go, stand and speak in the Beit HaMikdash to the
people of Yisrael all the words of this Way of chayim.
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the Beit
HaMikdash early in the morning, and taught. But the
Kohen HaGadol came, and they that were with him, and
called the Sanhedrin together, and all the Sanhedrin of the
children of Yisrael sent word to the prison to have them
brought out.
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the
prison, they returned,
23 Saying, The prison truly we found shut with all safety,
and the guards standing outside the doors: but when we
had opened the doors, we found no man inside.
24 Now when the Kohen HaGadol and the captain of the
Beit HaMikdash and the chief Kohanim heard these
things, they were puzzled and wondered how this could
happen.
25 Then came one and told them, saying, See, the men
whom you put in prison are standing in the Beit
HaMikdash, and teaching the people of Yisrael.
26 Then the captain with the officers brought the
talmidim in without violence: for they feared the people,
lest they should be stoned.
27 And when they had brought them, they sat them before
the Sanhedrin: and the Kohen HaGadol asked them,
28 Saying, Did not we strictly command you that you
should not teach in this Name? 5264 And, see, you have
filled Yahrushalayim with your teaching, and now you
intend to bring this Man’s dahm upon us.
29 Then Kepha and the other shlichim answered and said,
We must first obey tvkt rather than men.
30 The tvkt of our ahvot raised up gauvh, whom you
killed and hanged on an eytz of execution.
31 This very One has vuvh exalted with His Right Hand
to be the Sar and Savior, to grant teshuvah to Yisrael, and
the forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are His witnesses of these things; and so is
also the Ruach Hakodesh, whom tvkt has given to them
that obey Him. 5265
33 When they heard these words, they were enraged, and
took counsel to murder them.
34 Then stood up one in the Sanhedrin, a Prush, named
Gamliel, an honored Torah teacher, held in the highest
esteem among all the people of Yisrael, who commanded
that the shlichim be taken out of the chamber for a while;
35 And said to them, You men of Yisrael, 5266 take heed
to yourselves what you intend to do to these men.
36 For before these days rose up Todah, boasting himself
to be somebody great; to whom a number of men, about
four hundred, joined themselves: he was killed; and all,
that obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nothing.
37 After this man rose up Yahudah of Galil in the days of
the taxing, and drew away many people after him: he also
perished; and all those who obeyed him were dispersed.
38 And now I say to you, Refrain from hurting these men,
and leave them alone: for if these ideas, or this work be
from men, it will come to nothing:
MAASEH SHLICHIM - ACTS
- 675 -
39 But if it be of tvkt, you cannot overthrow it; lest you
be found in a fight against tvkt.
40 And they agreed with him: and when they had called
the shlichim, and had beaten them, they commanded that
they should not speak in the Name of gauvh, and let them
go.
41 And they departed from the presence of the Sanhedrin,
rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame
for His Name.
42 And daily in the Beit HaMikdash, and in every bayit,
they ceased not to teach and proclaim gauvh ha
Moshiach.

And in those days, when the number of the talmidim
was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Hellenists
against the Ivrim, because their widows were neglected in
the daily distribution. 5267
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the talmidim to
them, and said, It is not right that we should leave the
word of vuvh, and serve food.
3 Therefore, Yisraelite brothers, look for seven men of
honest report, full of the Ruach of the Master vuvh and
chochmah, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to tefillah, and to
the service of the word.
5 And the saying pleased the entire multitude: and they
chose Tzephanyah, a man full of emunah and the Ruach
Hakodesh, and Philip, and Prochoros, and Nikanor, and
Timon, and Parmenas, and Nikolaos a Yisraelite of
Antioch: 5268
6 Who were set before the shlichim: and when they had
made tefillah, they laid their hands on them.
7 And the word of vuvh increased; and the number of the
talmidim multiplied in Yahrushalayim greatly; and a large
group of the Kohanim and others from the Yahudite
emunah were obedient to the Netsarim emunah.
8 And Tzephanyah, full of emunah and power, did great
wonders and nisim among the people.
9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is
called the Synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians,
and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilikia and of Asia
Minor, disputing with Tzephanyah. 5269
10 And they were not able to resist the chochmah and the
Ruach by which he spoke.
11 Then they instigated other men, who said, We have
heard him speak blasphemous words against Moshe, and
against tvkt.
12 And they stirred up the people, and the zechanim, and
the Sophrim, and all these came upon him, and caught
him, and brought him to the Sanhedrin,
13 And set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceases
not to speak blasphemous words against the Kadosh-
Place, and the Torah:
14 For we have heard him say, that this gauvh of Natzeret
shall destroy this place, and shall change the ways that
Moshe delivered to us.
15 And all that sat in the Sanhedrin, looking steadfastly at
him, saw his face as if it had been the face of a heavenly
malach.

Then the Kohen HaGadol said, Are these things the
emet?
