Acts 5:21-28

21And when they heard it, they entered very early into the temple and taught. And when the high priest was come, and they that were with him, they called together the council and all the elderhood of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

22And when the officers were come, they did not find them in the prison; and returned and reported

23saying, We found the prison shut with all security, and the keepers standing at the doors; but when we had opened [them], within we found no one.

24And when they heard these words, both the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests were in perplexity as to them, what this would come to.

25And some one coming reported to them, Lo, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.

26Then the captain, having gone with the officers, brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

27And they bring them and set them in the council. And the high priest asked them,

28saying, We strictly enjoined you not to teach in this name: and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and purpose to bring upon us the blood of this man.
