Acts 5:29-42
"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", a Pharisee named Gamaliel who said to high priests and rulers.
Peter and apostles never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
Gamaliel: A well-respected leader of the Prarisees, Paul's teacher.
Theudas story: the resistance, headed a protest in AD 6 against paying tax to Rome.
Why?
Threats, imprisonment, even the lash(鞭打), are of no avail against the power of God.
Apostles and Christians were witnessed of these things that God raised Jesus from the dead, so his kingdom has existing for more than 2000 years. and will be forever.
If it is from men origin will be fail, but from God will greater. No one can against the Lord.
How?
Continue preach the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
