Acts 5:21-27

21

AtG5259 daybreakG3722 the apostles enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 templeG2411 courts as they had been toldG191 andG2532 began to teachG1321 the people.

When theG3588 high priestG749 andG2532 his associatesG3588G4862G846 arrivedG3854, they convenedG4779 theG3588 SanhedrinG48921—theG3588 fullG3956 assemblyG1087 of theG3588 elders of IsraelG5207G2474—andG2532 sentG649 toG1519 theG3588 jailG1201 for the apostles. 22ButG1161 on arrivingG3854 atG1722 theG3588 jailG5438, theG3588 officersG5257 did not findG3756G2147 themG846 there. So they returnedG390 with the reportG518: 23“We foundG2147 theG3588 jailG1201 securelyG1722G3956G803 lockedG2808, with theG3588 guardsG5441 postedG2476 atG1909 theG3588 doorsG2374; butG1161 when we openedG455 them, we foundG2147 no oneG3762 insideG2080.”

WhenG5613 theG3588 captainG4755 of theG3588 templeG2411 guard andG2532 theG3588 chief priestsG749 heardG191 thisG3778 accountG3056, they were perplexedG1280 as toG4012G846 whatG5101G302 was happeningG1096.2 25ThenG1161 someoneG5100 came inG3854 and announcedG518, “LookG2400, theG3588 menG435 you putG5087 inG1722 jailG5438 areG1510 standingG2476 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts teachingG1321 theG3588 peopleG2992!”

26At that pointG5119, theG3588 captainG4755 wentG565 withG4862 theG3588 officersG5257 and broughtG71 the apostles—but notG3756 byG3326 forceG970, forG1063 fearG5399 theG3588 peopleG2992 would stoneG3034 them. 27They brought them inG71G846 and made them standG2476 beforeG1722 theG3588 SanhedrinG4892, where theG3588 high priestG749 interrogatedG1905 themG846.
