and laid their hands upon the apostles, and did put them in a public prison;

and a messenger of the Lord through the night opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said,

and having heard, they did enter at the dawn into the temple, and were teaching. And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the sanhedrim and all the senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought,

and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told,

saying -- 'The prison indeed we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors, and having opened -- within we found no one.'
