Acts 5:19-23

19But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said,

20“Go and stand in the temple courts and proclaim to the people all the words of this life.”

21When they heard this, they entered the temple courts at daybreak and began teaching. Now when the high priest and those who were with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin – that is, the whole high council of the Israelites – and sent to the jail to have the apostles brought before them.

22But the officers who came for them did not find them in the prison, so they returned and reported,

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