When the Sanhedrin threatened to kill the apostles for being defiant, Gamaliel advised that they be
- A) detained for further investigation
- B) left alone for God to judge
- C) allowed to continue to preach
- D) Hogged and imprisoned
Correct Answer: B) left alone for God to judge
Explanation
In the book of Acts in the Bible, the Sanhedrin, which was the Jewish council of leaders, became upset with the apostles for preaching about Jesus, who they did not believe was the Messiah. They threatened to kill the apostles for their defiance. However, one of the Jewish council members, Gamaliel, spoke up and advised that they should be left alone for God to judge. This means that he believed that if the apostles were truly doing something wrong, God would deal with them in His own way and time. Gamaliel did not want to cause unnecessary harm to the apostles if they were not actually doing anything wrong. This advice was followed, and the apostles were not harmed. Therefore, the correct option in this question is option B: left alone for God to judge.
