Acts 5:24-26

The Voice

²⁴ The captain of the temple police and the senior priests were completely mystified when they heard this. They had no idea what had happened. ²⁵ Just then, someone arrived with this news:

²⁶ The temple police—this time, accompanied by their captain—rushed over to the temple and brought the emissaries^[a] of the Lord to the council. They were careful not to use violence, because the people were so supportive of them that the police feared being stoned by the crowd if they were too rough.
