Acts 5:13-25

¹³But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them;

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

¹⁵so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, might overshadow some of them.

¹⁶The multitude also belonging to the cities around came together to Jerusalem bringing the sick, and those plagued by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.

¹⁷But the high-priest and all that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with indignation,

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

¹⁹But an angel of the Lord in the night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth and said,

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

²¹And hearing this, they went into the temple at daybreak and taught. But the high-priest and they that were with him came and called together the council, and all the elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

²²But the officers that came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and brought word,

²³saying, The prison we found shut in all security and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we opened them, we found no one within.

²⁴And when the priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this would come.

²⁵But one came and brought them word, Lo! the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
