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!”

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!”  
29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: a“We ought to obey God rather than men.  
30 aThe God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by bhanging on a tree.
