14
And more believers were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,
15
insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
16
There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks and those who were vexed with unclean spirits; and they were healed, every one.
17
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,
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."
21
And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22
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."
24
Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they were in doubt about them as to where this would grow.
