Compare all
21 And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. aBut the high priest and those with him came and called the1 council together, with all the2 elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.  

Apostles on Trial Again

22 But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported,
23 saying, “Indeed we found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing1 outside before the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”  
24 Now when1 the high priest, athe captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they wondered what the outcome would be.  
25 So one came and told them,1 saying, “Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”  
26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence, afor they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.  
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
28 saying, a“Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, band intend to bring this Man’s cblood on us!”

Acts 5:23

The prison truly found we shut - All the doors were properly bolted, and the keepers at their post; but when we had opened, for it appears they were alone in possession of the keys; how much must this have increased their astonishment when they found that the doors were not broken open, the guards properly posted, and every thing as they left it, for they themselves had put the apostles in prison; but, when they had opened, there was no man within!
