Acts 5:22-32

[22] But  when the officers  came,  and found  them  not  in  the prison,  they returned,  and  told,  [23] Saying,  The prison  found we  shut  with  all  safety,  and  the keepers  standing  the doors:  but  when we had opened,  we found  no man  within.  [24] Now  when  and  the captain  of the temple  and  the chief priests  heard  things,  they doubted  of  them  whereunto  would grow.  [25] Then came  one  and  told  them,  Behold,  the men  whom  ye put  in  prison  standing  in  the temple,  and  teaching  the people.  [26] Then  went  the captain  with  the officers,  and brought  them  without  violence:  for  they feared  the people,  they should have been stoned.  [27] And  when they had brought  them,  they set  them before  the council:  and  the high priest  asked  them,  [28] Saying,  not  we straitly  command  not  teach  in  name?  and,  behold,  ye have filled  Jerusalem  doctrine,  and  intend  to bring  man's  blood  upon  [29] Then  Peter  and  the other apostles  answered  and said,  We ought  to obey  God  rather  than  men.  [30] The God  fathers  raised up  Jesus,  whom  slew  and hanged  on  a tree.  [31] hath God  exalted  with his  right hand  to be a Prince  and  a Saviour,  for to give  repentance  to Israel,  and  forgiveness  of sins.  [32] And  his  witnesses  things;  and  the Holy  Ghost,  whom  God  hath given  to them that obey  him.
