Acts5:40
40 And to him they agreed; And when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
They yielded to his reason and argument, being perswaded and convinced by it.
This was what our Saviour had foretold them, Ma[illegible: 1 letter]th. 1[illegible: 1 letter].17. and thus the husbandmen took the housholders servants and beat them, Matth. 21.35. They had power yet left them by the Romans, to punish offenders in their Synagogues, but not capitally nor publickly.
In this they left the good advice of Gamaliel, who had warned them not to fight against God.
