Acts 5:25-28

25Then someone told them, “The men you put in prison are standing in the temple courtyard. They’re teaching the people.”

26Then the officer of the temple guards went with some of his men to bring back the apostles without using force. After all, the officer and his guards were afraid that the people would stone them to death for using force.

27When they brought back the apostles, they made them stand in front of the council. The chief priest questioned them.

28He said, “We gave you strict orders not to mention Jesus’ name when you teach. Yet, you’ve filled Jerusalem with your teachings. You want to take revenge on us for putting that man to death.”
