Acts 5:19-29

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.
25 Then there came one and told them, saying, "Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people."
26 Then the captain went with his officers and brought them without violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
28 saying, "Did not we strictly command you that ye should not teach in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine and intend to bring this man's blood upon us."
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, "We ought to obey God rather than men.
