Acts 5:17-33

17ThenG1161 the high priestG749 rose upG450, andG2532 all theyG3956 that were withG4862 himG846, (whichG3588 isG5607 the sectG139 of the SadduceesG4523,) and were filledG4130 with indignationG2205,1 18AndG2532 laidG1911 theirG846 handsG5495 onG1909 the apostlesG652, andG2532 putG5087 themG846 inG1722 the commonG1219 prisonG5084. 19ButG1161 the angelG32 of the LordG2962 byG1223 nightG3571 openedG455 the prisonG5438 doorsG2374, andG5037 broughtG1806 themG846 forthG1806, and saidG2036, 20GoG4198, standG2476 andG2532 speakG2980 inG1722 the templeG2411 to the peopleG2992 allG3956 the wordsG4487 of thisG5026 lifeG2222. 21AndG1161 when they heardG191 that, they enteredG1525 intoG1519 the templeG2411 early in the morningG5259G3722, andG2532 taughtG1321. ButG1161 the high priestG749 cameG3854, andG2532 they that were withG4862 himG846, and calledG4779 the councilG4892 togetherG4779, andG2532 allG3956 the eldersG1087 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 sentG649 toG1519 the prisonG1201 to haveG71 themG846 broughtG71. 22ButG1161 when the officersG5257 cameG3854, and foundG2147 themG846 notG3756 inG1722 the prisonG5438, they returnedG390, andG1161 toldG518, 23SayingG3004, The prisonG1201 trulyG3303 we foundG2147 shutG2808 withG1722 allG3956 safetyG803, andG2532 the keepersG5441 standingG2476 outsideG1854 beforeG4253 the doorsG2374: butG1161 when we had openedG455, we foundG2147 no manG3762 withinG2080. 24NowG1161 whenG5613G5037 the high priestG2409 andG2532 the captainG4755 of the templeG2411 andG2532 the chief priestsG749 heardG191 theseG5128 thingsG3056, they were greatly perplexedG1280 aboutG4012 themG846 as to whatG302G5101 would comeG1096 of thisG5124. 25Then cameG3854 oneG5100 andG1161 toldG518 themG846, sayingG3004, BeholdG2400, the menG435 whomG3739 ye putG5087 inG1722 prisonG5438 areG1526 standingG2476 inG1722 the templeG2411, andG2532 teachingG1321 the peopleG2992.

26ThenG5119 wentG565 the captainG4755 withG4862 the officersG5257, and broughtG71 themG846 withoutG3756G3326 violenceG970: forG1063 they fearedG5399 the peopleG2992, lestG3363 they should have been stonedG3034. 27AndG1161 when they had broughtG71 themG846, they setG2476 them beforeG1722 the councilG4892: andG2532 the high priestG749 askedG1905 themG846, 28SayingG3004, DidG3853 we notG3756 strictlyG3852 commandG3853 youG5213 that ye shouldG1321 notG3361 teachG1321 inG1909 thisG5129 nameG3686? andG2532, beholdG2400, ye have filledG4137 JerusalemG2419 with yourG5216 doctrineG1322, andG2532 intendG1014 to bringG1863 thisG5127 man’sG444 bloodG129 uponG1909 usG2248. 29ThenG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 the other apostlesG652 answeredG611 and saidG2036, We oughtG1163 to obeyG3980 GodG2316 ratherG3123 thanG2228 menG444. 30The GodG2316 of ourG2257 fathersG3962 raised upG1453 JesusG2424, whomG3739 yeG5210 slewG1315 and hangedG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586. 31HimG5126 hath GodG2316 exaltedG5312 with hisG846 right handG1188 to be a PrinceG747 andG2532 a SaviourG4990, to giveG1325 repentanceG3341 to IsraelG2474, andG2532 forgivenessG859 of sinsG266. 32AndG2532 weG2249 areG2070 hisG846 witnessesG3144 of theseG5130 thingsG4487; andG2532 so is alsoG1161 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, whomG3739 GodG2316 hath givenG1325 to them that obeyG3980 himG846. 33WhenG1161 they heardG191 that, they were cutG1282 to the heart, andG2532 took counselG1011 to slayG337 themG846.
