Acts 5:13-25

¹³but of the rest durst no man join them, but the people magnified them;

¹⁴and believers were more than ever added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;)

¹⁵so that they brought out the sick into the streets and put them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter, when he came, might overshadow some one of them.

¹⁶And the multitude also of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons and persons beset by unclean spirits, who were all healed.

¹⁷And the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with wrath,

¹⁸and laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison.

¹⁹But an angel of the Lord during the night opened the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said,

²⁰Go ye and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

²¹And when they heard it, they entered very early into the temple and taught. And when the high priest was come, and they that were with him, they called together the council and all the elderhood of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

²²And when the officers were come, they did not find them in the prison; and returned and reported

²³saying, We found the prison shut with all security, and the keepers standing at the doors; but when we had opened them, within we found no one.

²⁴And when they heard these words, both the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests were in perplexity as to them, what this would come to.

²⁵And some one coming reported to them, Lo, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.
