Acts 5:19-23

19But at night an angel from the Lord opened the doors to their cell and led them out of the prison.

20The angel told them, “Stand in the temple courtyard, and tell the people everything about life ⌞in Christ⌟.”

21Early in the morning, after they had listened to the angel, the apostles went into the temple courtyard and began to teach. The chief priest and those who were with him called together the Jewish council, that is, all the leaders of Israel. They also sent men to the prison to get the apostles.

22When the temple guards arrived at the prison, they didn’t find the apostles. The guards came back and reported,

23“We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors. However, when we opened the doors, we found no one inside.”
