Acts 5:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ “Go stand in the Temple [^Ccourts; 2:46] and tell the people ·everything [or the full message; ^Lall the words] about this new life.” ²¹ When the apostles heard this, they obeyed and went into the Temple [^Ccourts; 2:46] early in the morning and ·continued [or began] teaching.

When the high priest and his friends arrived, they called a meeting of the ·leaders [^LSanhedrin; 4:15] ·and [or that is,] ·all the important elders [^Lthe whole senate/council of the sons of Israel]. They sent some men to the ·jail [prison] to bring the apostles to them. ²² But, upon arriving, the ·officers [temple police] could not find the apostles. So they went back and reported to the leaders.
