Acts 5:21-27

²¹At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin — the full assembly of the elders of Israel — and sent to the jail for the apostles.

²²But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:

²³“We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”

²⁴When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.

²⁵Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”

²⁶At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles— but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.

²⁷They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
