17 The high priest and all the other Sadducees who were with him became jealous.
18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the city jail.
19 But that night an angel from the Lord opened the doors of the jail and led the apostles out. The angel said,
20 “Go to the temple and tell the people everything about this new life.”
21 So they went into the temple before sunrise and started teaching.The high priest and his men called together their council, which included all Israel's leaders. Then they ordered the apostles to be brought to them from the jail.
22 The temple police who were sent to the jail did not find the apostles. They returned and said,
23 “We found the jail locked tight and the guards standing at the doors. But when we opened the doors and went in, we didn't find anyone there.”
