44:005:022 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,
44:005:023 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and
the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had
opened, we found no man within.
44:005:024 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the
chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them
whereunto this would grow.
44:005:025 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye
put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the
people.
44:005:026 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them
without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should
have been stoned.
44:005:027 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
44:005:028 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
44:005:029 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought
to obey God rather than men.
44:005:030 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and
hanged on a tree.
44:005:031 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
