Chapter 5

The Apostles Arrested and Freed

17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

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

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

22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,

23 Saying , The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.

The Apostles before the Sanhedrin

24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.

25 Then came one and told them, saying , Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
