And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the sanhedrim and all the senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought,Acts 5:22and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told,Acts 5:23saying—‘The prison indeed we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors, and having opened—within we found no one.’Acts 5:24And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting concerning them to what this would come;Acts 5:25and coming near, a certain one told them, saying—‘Lo, the men whom ye did put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people;’Acts 5:26then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned;Acts 5:27and having brought them, they set them in the sanhedrim, and the chief priest questioned them,Acts 5:28saying, ‘Did not we strictly command you not to teach in this name? and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.’Acts 5:29And Peter and the apostles answering, said, ‘To obey God it behoveth, rather than men;Acts 5:30and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree;Acts 5:31this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins;Acts 5:32and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.’Acts 5:33And they having heard, were cut to the heart, and were taking counsel to slay them,Acts 5:34but a certain one, having risen up in the sanhedrim—a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honoured by all the people—commanded to put the apostles forth a little,Acts 5:35and said unto them, ‘Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves about these men, what ye are about to do,Acts 5:36for before these days rose up Theudas, saying, that himself was some one, to whom a number of men did join themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nought.Acts 5:37‘After this one rose up, Judas the Galilean, in the days of the enrolment, and drew away much people after him, and that one perished, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered;Acts 5:38and now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it will be overthrown,Acts 5:39and if it be of God, ye are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps also ye be found fighting against God.’Acts 5:40And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go;Acts 5:41they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the sanhedrim, rejoicing that for his name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour,Acts 5:42every day also in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news—Jesus the Christ.Acts 12:3and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also—and they were the days of the unleavened food—Acts 12:4whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.Acts 12:5Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him,Acts 12:6and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison,Acts 12:7and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, ‘Rise in haste,’ and his chains fell from off his hands.Acts 12:8The messenger also said to him, ‘Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;’ and he did so; and he saith to him, ‘Put thy garment round and be following me;’
