Acts 5:21-23

Living Bible

²¹ They arrived at the Temple about daybreak and immediately began preaching! Later that morning^[a] the High Priest and his courtiers arrived at the Temple, and, convening the Jewish Council and the entire Senate, they sent for the apostles to be brought for trial. ²² But when the police arrived at the jail, the men weren’t there, so they returned to the Council and reported, ²³ “The jail doors were locked, and the guards were standing outside, but when we opened the gates, no one was there!”
