2 Chronicles 25:16
25:16 While he was speaking, Amaziah
said to him, “Did we appoint you to be a royal counselor? Stop prophesying or else you will be killed!”
So the prophet stopped, but added, “I know that the
Lord has decided
to destroy you, because you have done this thing and refused to listen to my advice.”
Amos 7:12-13
7:12 Amaziah then said to Amos, “Leave, you visionary! Run away to the land of Judah! Earn your living and prophesy there!
7:13 Don’t prophesy at Bethel any longer, for a royal temple and palace are here!”
John 11:47-53
11:47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees
called the council
together and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.
11:48 If we allow him to go on in this way,
everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary
and our nation.”
11:49 Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, “You know nothing at all!
11:50 You do not realize that it is more to your advantage to have one man die for the people than for the whole nation to perish.”
11:51 (Now he did not say this on his own, but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the Jewish nation,
11:52 and not for the Jewish nation only, but to gather together into one the children of God who are scattered.)
11:53 So from that day they planned together to kill him.
Acts 4:17-21
4:17 But to keep this matter from spreading any further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more
to anyone in this name.”
4:18 And they called them in and ordered
them not to speak or teach at all in the name
of Jesus.
4:19 But Peter and John replied,
“Whether it is right before God to obey
you rather than God, you decide,
4:20 for it is impossible
for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.”
4:21 After threatening them further, they released them, for they could not find how to punish them on account of the people, because they were all praising
God for what had happened.
Acts 5:28
5:28 saying, “We gave
you strict orders
not to teach in this name.
Look,
you have filled Jerusalem
with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood
on us!”
Acts 5:40
5:40 and they summoned the apostles and had them beaten.
Then
they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus and released them.
