Acts 5:22-32 - The Apostles On Trial Again
22 And the attendants having come near, found them not in the prison, and having returned, they announced, 23 Saying, That we truly found the prison shut with all security, and the watch standing without before the doors: and having opened, we found none within. 24 And when the priest and captain of the temple and chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt of them, what this might be.
25 And a certain one having come near, announced to them, saying, That, behold, the men which ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. 26 Then the commander having gone with attendants, brought them, not with force: for they feared the people, lest they might be stoned. 27 And having brought them, they set in the council: and the chief priest asked them, 28 Saying, Did we not announce to you by order, not to teach by this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye desire to bring upon us this man's blood.
29 And Peter having answered, and the sent, said, We must obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew with your own hands, having hung him upon a tree. 31 This, God exalted, a Chief and Saviour, with his right hand to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins. 32 And we are his witnesses of these words; and the Holy Spirit, whom God gave to them obeying him.
