Acts 5:16-23

¹⁶There also came together a great number of people from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

¹⁷But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees); and they were filled with jealousy

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

¹⁹Yet during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and led them out, and said,

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

²¹When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, all the elders of the people of Israel, and sent to the jail to have the apostles brought.

²²But the officers that went did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,

²³“We found the jail securely shut and the guards standing at the door, but when we had opened it, we found no one inside.”
