23sayingG3004, “We foundG2147 the prisonG1201 houseG1201 lockedG2808 quiteG3956 securelyG803 and the guardsG5441 standingG2476 at the doorsG2374; but when we had openedG455 up, we foundG2147 noG3762 oneG3762 insideG2080.” 24NowG1161 whenG5613 1the captainG4755 of the templeG2413 guard and the chiefG749 priestsG749 heardG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056, they were greatlyG1280 perplexedG1280 aboutG4012 them as to whatG5101 2would comeG1096 of thisG3778. 25But someoneG5100 cameG3854 and reportedG518 to them, “The menG435 whomG3739 you putG5087 in prisonG5438 are standingG2476 in the templeG2413 and teachingG1321 the peopleG2992!” 26ThenG5119 3the captainG4755 wentG565 alongG565 with 4the officersG5257 and proceeded to bringG71 them back withoutG3756G3326 violenceG970 (for 5they were afraidG5399 of the peopleG2992, that they might be stonedG3034).

27When they had broughtG71 them, they stoodG2476 them 6beforeG1722 7the CouncilG4892.
