Acts 5:17-33
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. 27And when they had broughtG71 them, they setG2476 them before the councilG4892. And the highG749 priestG749 askedG1905 them, 28sayingG3004, We strictly charged you not to teachG1321 in this nameG3686: and beholdG2400, ye have filledG4137 JerusalemG2419 with your teachingG1321, and intendG1014 to bring this man’sG444 bloodG129 upon us. 29But PeterG4074 and the apostlesG652 answeredG611 and saidG3004, We must obey GodG2316 ratherG3123 than menG444. 30The GodG2316 of our fathersG3962 raisedG1453 up JesusG2424, whom ye slew, hangingG2910 him on a treeG3586. 31Him did GodG2316 exaltG5312 with his rightG1188 handG1188 to be a Prince and a Saviour, to giveG1325 repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2474, and remission of sinsG266. 32And we areG1510 witnessesG3144 of these thingsG3778; and so isG1510 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, whom GodG2316 hath givenG1325 to them that obey him.
33But they, when they heardG191 this, were cutG1282 to the heart, and were minded to slay them.
