But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge you.

George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
But Peter and John stopped their mouths, by asking them, if it was reasonable for them to hearken to men rather than to God. For we, say they, (ver. 20.) cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. (Witham)
Here by “God” they mean Christ, for he it was that commanded them.
Before He spoke or did any thing, Christ called Apostles, that neither word nor deed of His should be hid from their knowledge.
