17But the highG749 priestG749 stoodG450 upG450, alongG2532 with allG3956 his associatesG4862 (that is 1the sectG139 of 2the SadduceesG4523), and they were filledG4092 with jealousyG2205. 18They laidG1911 handsG5495 on the apostlesG652 and 3putG5087 them in a publicG1219 prisonG5084. 19But duringG1223 the nightG3571 4an angelG32 of the LordG2962 openedG455 the gatesG2374 of the prisonG5438, and leadingG1806 them outG1806, he saidG3004, 20“GoG4198, standG2476 and 5speakG2980 to the peopleG2992 in the templeG2413 area 67the wholeG3956 messageG4487 of thisG3778 LifeG2222.” 21Upon hearingG191 this, they enteredG1525 into the templeG2413 area 8aboutG5259 daybreakG3722 and began to teachG1321.
NowG1161 when 9the highG749 priestG749 and his associatesG4862 cameG1525, they calledG4779 10the 11CouncilG4892 togetherG4779, that is, allG3956 the SenateG1087 of the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474, and sentG649 orders to the prisonG1201 for them to be broughtG71. 22But 12the 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 13the captainG4755 of the templeG2413 guard and the chiefG749 priestsG749 heardG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056, they were greatlyG1280 perplexedG1280 aboutG4012 them as to whatG5101 14would 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 15the captainG4755 wentG565 alongG565 with 16the officersG5257 and proceeded to bringG71 them back withoutG3756G3326 violenceG970 (for 17they wereG5399 afraidG5399 of the peopleG2992, that they might be stonedG3034).
