Acts 5:17-26 - The Apostles Arrested And Imprisoned
17 But the highpriest and all that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with indignation, 18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison. 19 But an angel of the Lord in the night opened the prisondoors, and brought them forth and said, 20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. 21 And hearing this, they went into the temple at daybreak and taught. But the highpriest and they that were with him came and called together the council, and all the elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. 22 But the officers that came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and brought word, 23 saying, The prison we found shut in all security and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we opened them, we found no one within. 24 And when the priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this would come.
25 But one came and brought them word, Lo! the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people. 26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, that they might not be stoned; for they feared the people.
