Acts 5:12-26

12And by the handsG5495 of the apostlesG652 wereG1510 manyG4183 signsG4592 and wondersG5059 wrought among the peopleG2992: and they wereG1510 all with oneG3661 accordG3661 in Solomon’s porch. 13But of the restG3062 durst no man joinG2853 himself to them: howbeit the peopleG2992 magnifiedG3170 them; 14and believers were the moreG3123 addedG4369 to the LordG2962, multitudesG4128 both of menG435 and womenG1135: 15insomuch that they evenG2532 carriedG1627 out the sickG772 into the streets, and laidG5087 them on beds and couches, that, as PeterG4074 cameG2064 by, at the least his shadowG4639 might overshadowG1982 some oneG5100 of them. 16And there alsoG2532 cameG4905 togetherG4905 the multitudeG4128 from the citiesG4172 round about JerusalemG2419, bringingG5342 sickG772 folk, and them that were vexed with uncleanG169 spiritsG4151: and they were healedG2323 every oneG3588.

17But the highG749 priestG749 roseG450 up, and all they that wereG1510 with him (which isG1510 the sectG139 of the SadduceesG4523), and they wereG1510 filledG4130 with jealousyG2205, 18and laidG5087 handsG5495 on the apostlesG652, and putG5087 them in public ward. 19But an angelG32 of the LordG2962 by nightG3571 openedG455 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374, and brought them out, and saidG3004, 20GoG4198 ye, and standG2476 and speakG2980 in the temple to the peopleG2992 all the words of this LifeG2222. 21And when they heardG191 this, they enteredG1525 into the temple about daybreak, and taughtG1321. But the highG749 priestG749 cameG3854, and they that were with him, and calledG4779 the councilG4892 togetherG4779, and all the senate of the children of IsraelG2474, and sentG649 to the prison-house to have them broughtG71. 22But the officersG5257 that cameG3854 foundG2147 them not in the prisonG5438; and they returned, and toldG518, 23sayingG3004, The prison-house we foundG2147 shutG2808 in all safety, and the keepers standingG2476 at the doorsG2374: but when we had openedG455, we foundG2147 no man within. 24NowG1161 whenG5613 the captainG4755 of the temple and the chiefG749 priestsG749 heardG191 these wordsG3056, they were much perplexedG1280 concerningG4012 them whereunto this would grow. 25And there cameG3854 oneG5100 and toldG518 them, BeholdG2400, the menG435 whom ye putG5087 in the prisonG5438 areG1510 in the temple standingG2476 and teachingG1321 the peopleG2992. 26ThenG5119 wentG565 the captainG4755 with the officersG5257, and broughtG71 them, but without violenceG970; for they fearedG5399 the peopleG2992, lestG3361 they should be stonedG3034.
