Acts 5:19-23

19But an angel of the Lord came at night, opened the gates of the jail, and brought them out. Then he told them,

20“Go to the Temple and give the people this message of life!”

21So at daybreak the apostles entered the Temple, as they were told, and immediately began teaching. When the high priest and his officials arrived, they convened the high council—the full assembly of the elders of Israel. Then they sent for the apostles to be brought from the jail for trial.

22But when the Temple guards went to the jail, the men were gone. So they returned to the council and reported,

23“The jail was securely locked, with the guards standing outside, but when we opened the gates, no one was there!”
