Acts 5:12-26

121At the handsG5495 of the apostlesG652 manyG4183 23signsG4592 and wondersG5059 were takingG1096 placeG1096 amongG1722 the peopleG2992; and they were allG3956 4togetherG3661 in 5Solomon’sG4672 6porticoG4745. 13But noneG3762 of the restG3062 daredG5111 to associateG2853 with them; howeverG235, 7the peopleG2992 heldG3170 them inG3170 highG3170 esteemG3170. 14And increasinglyG3123 8believersG4100 in the LordG2962, largeG4128 numbersG4128 of menG435 and womenG1135, were being 9addedG4369 to their number, 15toG5620 suchG5620 anG5620 extentG5620 thatG5620 they evenG2532 carriedG1627 the sickG772 outG1627 into the streetsG4116 and laidG5087 them on cotsG2825 and palletsG2895, soG2443 thatG2443 when PeterG4074 cameG2064 by 10atG2579 leastG2579 his shadowG4639 might fallG1982 on anyG5100 of them. 16The 11peopleG4128 from the citiesG4172 in the vicinityG4038 of JerusalemG2419 were comingG4905 togetherG4905 asG2532 wellG2532, bringingG5342 people who were sickG772 12orG2532 tormentedG3791 with uncleanG169 spiritsG4151, and they were allG537 being healedG2323.

17But the highG749 priestG749 stoodG450 upG450, alongG2532 with allG3956 his associatesG4862 (that is 13the sectG139 of 14the SadduceesG4523), and they were filledG4092 with jealousyG2205. 18They laidG1911 handsG5495 on the apostlesG652 and 15putG5087 them in a publicG1219 prisonG5084. 19But duringG1223 the nightG3571 16an angelG32 of the LordG2962 openedG455 the gatesG2374 of the prisonG5438, and leadingG1806 them outG1806, he saidG3004, 20“GoG4198, standG2476 and 17speakG2980 to the peopleG2992 in the templeG2413 area 1819the wholeG3956 messageG4487 of thisG3778 LifeG2222.” 21Upon hearingG191 this, they enteredG1525 into the templeG2413 area 20aboutG5259 daybreakG3722 and began to teachG1321.

NowG1161 when 21the highG749 priestG749 and his associatesG4862 cameG1525, they calledG4779 22the 23CouncilG4892 togetherG4779, that is, allG3956 the SenateG1087 of the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474, and sentG649 orders to the prisonG1201 for them to be broughtG71. 22But 24the officersG5257 who cameG3854 did not findG2147 them in the prisonG5438; and they returnedG390 and reportedG518, 23sayingG3004, “We foundG2147 the prisonG1201 lockedG2808 quiteG3956 securelyG803 and the guardsG5441 standingG2476 at the doorsG2374; but when we openedG455 them, we foundG2147 noG3762 oneG3762 insideG2080.” 24NowG1161 whenG5613 25the captainG4755 of the templeG2413 guard and the chiefG749 priestsG749 heardG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056, they were greatlyG1280 perplexedG1280 aboutG4012 them as to whatG5101 26would comeG1096 of thisG3778. 25But someoneG5100 cameG3854 and reportedG518 to them, “The menG435 whomG3739 you putG5087 in prisonG5438 are standingG2476 in the templeG2413 area and teachingG1321 the peopleG2992!” 26ThenG5119 27the captainG4755 wentG565 alongG565 with 28the officersG5257 and proceeded to bringG71 them back withoutG3756G3326 violenceG970 (for 29they wereG5399 afraidG5399 of the peopleG2992, that they might be stonedG3034).
