Deeds (Act) of Apostles 5:17-25

¹⁷But the prince of priests rose up (or But the High Priest rose up), and all that were with him, that is the heresy of (the) Sadducees, and (they) were filled with envy;

¹⁸and they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common ward or in the common keeping. (and they laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the prison.)

¹⁹But the angel of the Lord opened by night the gates of the prison, and led them out, and said, Forsooth the angel of the Lord by night opened the gates of the prison, and leading them out, said,

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

²¹Whom when they had heard, they entered early into the temple, and taught. And the prince of priests came (or And the High Priest came), and they that were with him, and called together the council (or the Sanhedrin), and all the elder men of the children of Israel; and sent (men) to the prison, (so) that they should be brought forth.

²²And when the ministers came, and found them not, and for the prison was opened, or Soothly when the ministers came, and, the prison opened, found them not, they turned again and told (them), (But when the servants, or the officers, came, and opened the prison, and did not find them, they returned, and told them,)

²³and said, We found the prison shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing at the gates (or and the guards standing at the gates); but we opened (it), and found no man therein.

²⁴And as the magistrates of the temple, and the princes of (the) priests heard these words, they doubted of them, what was done. (And when the Temple magistrate, and the high priests, heard these words, they wondered, what had become of them.)

²⁵But a man came, and told to them, For lo! those men which ye have put into prison, be in the temple, and stand (there), and teach the people.
