Apostlenes gjerninger 5,36

Theudas

34 Men en fariseer ved navn Gamaliel, en lovlærer, respektert av hele folket, reiste seg i Sanhedrin og beordret at mennene skulle settes utenfor en liten stund.

35 Så talte han til Sanhedrin: “Israels menn, vurder nøye hva dere har tenkt å gjøre med disse mennene.

For en tid siden dukket Theudas opp og hevdet å være noe betydningsfullt, og omtrent fire hundre menn samlet seg om ham. Han ble drept, alle hans tilhengere ble spredt, og det hele kom til ingenting.

37 Etter ham dukket Judas fra Galilea opp i folketellingen og ledet en gruppe mennesker i opprør. Også han omkom, og alle hans tilhengere ble spredt.

38 Derfor, i den nåværende situasjonen, råder jeg dere: La disse mennene være i fred! La dem gå! For hvis deres hensikt eller aktivitet er av menneskelig opprinnelse, vil det mislykkes.
