    19But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,

    20"Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."

    21When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

    22But the officers who came didn't find them in the prison. They returned and reported,

    23"We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!"

    24Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.

    25One came and told them, "Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."

    26Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

    27When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

    28saying, "Didn't we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
