Acts 5:21-32

[21] And  when they heard  that, they entered  into  the temple  early in the morning,  and  taught.  But  the high priest  came,  and  they that were with  him,  the council  together,  and  all  the senate  of the children  of Israel,  and  sent  to  the prison  them  brought.  [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.
