18 They grabbed the emissaries and put them in a public jail.
19 But during the night an angel of Adonai opened the prison doors, and leading them out he said,
20 “Go, stand in the Temple and speak to the people the whole message about this Life.”
21 Now when they heard that, they entered the Temple at daybreak and began teaching. When the kohen gadol and those with him arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin, even the council of elders of Bnei-Yisrael, and sent to the prison to have the prisoners brought in.
22 But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison. So they returned and reported,
23 saying, “We found the prison locked with maximum security and the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened up, we found no one inside.”
24 When the captain of the Temple and the ruling kohanim heard these words, they were perplexed about them, wondering where this would lead.
