    19But the Angel of the Lorde, by night opened the prison doores, & brought them forth, and sayd,

    20Go your way, & stand in the Temple, and speake to the people, all the wordes of this life.

    21So when they heard it, they entred into the Temple early in the morning, & taught; the chiefe Priest came, and they that were with him, and called the Councill together, and all the Elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison, to cause them to be brought.

    22But when the officers came, & found them not in the prison, they returned and tolde it,

    23Saying, Certainely we founde the prison shut as sure as was possible, and the keepers standing without, before the doores: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

    27And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, & the chiefe Priest asked them,

    28Saying, Did not we straightly commaund you, that ye should not teach in this Name? & behold, ye haue filled Hierusale with your doctrine, and ye would bring this mans blood vpon vs.

    29Then Peter and the Apostles answered, & sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men.
