Acts 5:22-32 - The Apostles On Trial Again
22 and sent to the prison, to have them brought, But when the officers came, they found them not in the prison; and returning they said, 23 Truly we found the prison shut with all safety, and the keepers standing before the doors; but having opened them, we found no man within. 24 When the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them, what this should be?
25 Then came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison, are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. 26 Then the captain going with the officers brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. 27 And having brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, 28 Did not we strictly command you, Not to teach in this name? And lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would bring the blood of this man upon us.
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answering said, We ought to obey God rather than man. 30 The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. 31 Him hath God exalted, a Prince and a Saviour with his right-hand, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
