Acts 5:17-33

17ButG1161 theG3956 highG749 priestG749 roseG450 upG450, andG2532 allG3956 theyG846 thatG3956 wereG1510 withG4862 himG846 (whichG3588 isG1510 theG3956 sectG139 ofG3956 theG3956 SadduceesG4523), andG2532 theyG846 wereG1510 filledG4130 withG4862 jealousyG2205,

18andG2532 laidG5087 handsG5495 onG1909 theG3588 apostlesG652, andG2532 putG5087 themG846 inG1722 publicG1219 ward.

19ButG1161 anG32 angelG32 ofG1223 theG3588 LordG2962 byG1223 nightG3571 openedG455 theG3588 prisonG5438 doorsG2374, andG1161 broughtG1806 themG846 outG1806, andG1161 saidG3004,

20GoG4198 ye, andG2532 standG2476 andG2532 speakG2980 inG1722 theG3956 templeG2413 toG2532 theG3956 peopleG2992 allG3956 theG3956 wordsG4487 ofG3956 thisG3778 LifeG2222.

21AndG2532 whenG2532 theyG846 heardG191 thisG3588, theyG846 enteredG1525 intoG1519 theG3956 templeG846 aboutG1519 daybreakG3722, andG2532 taughtG1321. ButG1161 theG3956 highG749 priestG749 cameG3854, andG2532 theyG846 thatG191 were withG4862 himG846, andG2532 calledG4779 theG3956 councilG4892 togetherG4779, andG2532 allG3956 theG3956 senateG1087 ofG5207 theG3956 children ofG5207 IsraelG2474, andG2532 sentG649 toG1519 theG3956 prison-house toG1519 have themG846 broughtG71.

22ButG1161 theG3588 officersG5257 thatG846 cameG3854 foundG2147 themG846 notG3756 inG1722 theG3588 prisonG5438; andG1161 theyG846 returnedG390, andG1161 toldG518,

23sayingG3004, TheG3956 prison-house weG2532 foundG2147 shutG2808 inG1722 allG3956 safetyG803, andG2532 theG3956 keepers standingG2476 at theG3956 doorsG2374: butG1161 whenG2532 weG2532 had openedG455, weG2532 foundG2147 noG3762 manG3762 withinG1722.

24NowG1161 whenG5613 theG3588 captainG4755 ofG3056 theG3588 templeG2413 andG2532 theG3588 chiefG749 priestsG749 heardG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056, theyG846 were much perplexedG1280 concerningG4012 themG846 whereunto thisG3778 wouldG302 grow.

25AndG2532 thereG1510 cameG3854 oneG5100 andG2532 toldG518 themG846, BeholdG2400, theG3588 menG435 whomG3739 ye putG5087 inG1722 theG3588 prisonG5438 areG1510 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2413 standingG2476 andG2532 teachingG1321 theG3588 peopleG2992.

26ThenG5119 wentG565 theG3588 captainG4755 withG3326 theG3588 officersG5257, andG565 broughtG71 themG846, butG1063 withoutG3361 violenceG970; forG1063 theyG846 fearedG5399 theG3588 peopleG2992, lestG3361 theyG846 shouldG2443 beG3326 stonedG3034.

27AndG2532 whenG2532 theyG846 had broughtG71 themG846, theyG846 setG2476 themG846 beforeG1722 theG3588 councilG4892. AndG2532 theG3588 highG749 priestG749 askedG1905 themG846,

28sayingG3004, WeG2249 straitly charged youG5210 notG3361 toG3004 teachG1321 inG1909 thisG3778 nameG3686: andG2532 beholdG2400, ye have filledG4137 JerusalemG2419 withG1909 yourG3708 teachingG1321, andG2532 intendG1014 toG3004 bringG1863 thisG3778 man’sG444 bloodG129 uponG1909 usG3004.

29ButG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 theG3588 apostlesG652 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004, WeG2532 must obeyG3980 GodG2316 ratherG3123 thanG2228 menG444.

30TheG3588 GodG2316 ofG2316 ourG2316 fathersG3962 raisedG1453 upG1453 JesusG2424, whomG3739 ye slew, hangingG2910 himG3739 onG1909 a treeG3586.

31HimG846 didG1325 GodG2316 exaltG5312 withG2316 hisG846 rightG1188 handG1188 toG2532 beG2532 a PrinceG747 andG2532 a Saviour, forG2316 toG2532 giveG1325 repentanceG3341 toG2532 IsraelG2474, andG2532 remission ofG2316 sinsG266.

32AndG2532 weG2249 areG1510 witnessesG3144 ofG4151 theseG3778 thingsG3778; andG2532 soG2532 isG1510 theG3588 HolyG40 Ghost, whomG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 toG2532 themG846 thatG3739 obeyG3980 himG846.

33ButG1161 theyG846, whenG2532 theyG846 heardG191 thisG3588, were cutG1282 toG2532 theG3588 heart, andG2532 were minded toG2532 slayG337 themG846.
