At which time the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so as to trample on one another, He began to say to His disciples first, Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Since we heard that some of us going out have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, Be circumcised and keep the Law, to whom we gave no command;
But some of the ones rose up from the sect of the Pharisees, having believed, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them and to command them to keep the Law of Moses.
Indeed I am a man, a Jew having been born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but having been brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been trained according to the exactness of the ancestral law, being a zealot of God, even as you all are today.
But having threatened them again, they released them, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people, because all glorified God on the thing happening.
And the Word of God was growing, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was multiplying exceedingly. Even a great crowd of the priests were obeying the faith!
when He comes to be glorified in His saints, and to be marveled at among all the ones having believed in that Day, because our testimony to you was believed.
