Acts 5:22-32 - The Apostles On Trial Again
22 And the officers arriving found them not in the prison; and having returned, reported, 23 saying; We found the prison closed with all safety, and the guards standing at the doors, and having opened, we found no one within. 24 And when the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, what this might be.
25 And a certain one coming announced to them, Behold, the men whom you placed in the prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people. 26 Then the captain along with the officers, having gone away, led them, not with violence, for they feared the people lest they might be stoned. 27 And leading them, they placed them in the council, and the chief priests asked them, saying, 28 With commandment we commanded you not to teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching; and you are determined to bring upon us the blood of this man.
29 But Peter and the apostles responding said, It behooves us to obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you have slain, hanging him on the wood; 31 Him hath God exalted at His own right hand, a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance and remission of sins to Israel. 32 And we are witnesses of these words, and the Holy Ghost, whom God has given to those who obey him.
