14
And more believers were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,
15

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

But when the officers came and found them not in the prison, they returned and reported, saying,
23
"The prison truly found we shut with all safety and the keepers standing outside before the doors; but when we had opened them, we found no man within."
