* Go (5737 ), stand (5685 ) and speak (5720 ) in the temple to the people all the words of this life . * And when they heard (5660 ) that , they entered (5627 ) into the temple early in the morning , and taught (5707 ). But the high priest came (5637 ), and they that were with him , and called the council together (5656 ), and all the senate of the children of Israel , and sent (5656 ) to the prison to have them brought (5683 ). * But when the officers came (5637 ), and found (5627 ) them not in the prison , they returned (5660 ), and told (5656 ), * Saying (5723 ), The prison truly found we (5627 ) shut (5772 ) with all safety , and the keepers standing (5761 ) without before the doors : but when we had opened (5660 ), we found (5627 ) no man within . * Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard (5656 ) these things , they doubted (5707 ) of them whereunto this would grow (5636 ). * Then came (5637 ) one and told (5656 ) them , saying (5723 ), Behold (5628 ), the men whom ye put (5639 ) in prison are (5748 ) standing (5761 ) in the temple , and teaching (5723 ) the people . * Then went (5631 ) the captain with the officers , and brought (5627 ) them without violence : for they feared (5711 ) the people , lest they should have been stoned (5686 ). * And when they had brought (5631 ) them , they set (5627 ) them before the council : and the high priest asked (5656 ) them , * Saying (5723 ), Did not we straitly command (5656 ) you that ye should not teach (5721 ) in this name ? and , behold (5628 ), ye have filled (5758 ) Jerusalem with your doctrine , and intend (5736 ) to bring (5629 ) this mans blood upon us . * Then Peter and the other apostles answered (5679 ) and said (5627 ), We ought (5748 ) to obey (5721 ) God rather than men .
