005:020 "Go and stand in the Temple, and go on proclaiming to the people
all this Message of Life."
005:021 Having received that command they went into the Temple,
just before daybreak, and began to teach: So when the High Priest
and his party came, and had called together the Sanhedrin
as well as all the Elders of the descendants of Israel,
they sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.
005:022 But the officers went and could not find them in the prison.
So they came back and brought word,
005:023 saying, "The jail we found quite safely locked, and the warders
were on guard at the doors, but upon going in we found
no one there."
005:024 When the Commander of the Temple Guards and the High Priests heard
this statement, they were utterly at a loss with regard to it,
wondering what would happen next.
005:025 And some one came and brought them word, saying, "The men you
put in prison are actually in the Temple, standing there,
teaching the people."
005:026 Upon this the Commander went with the officers, and brought
the Apostles; but without using violence; for they were afraid
of being stoned by the people.
005:027 So they brought them and made them stand in front of the Sanhedrin.
And then the High Priest questioned them.
005:028 "We strictly forbad you to teach in that name--did we not?" he said.
"And see, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching,
and are trying to make us responsible for that man's death!"
005:029 Peter and the other Apostles replied, "We must obey God
rather than man.
005:030 The God of our forefathers has raised Jesus to life, whom you
crucified and put to death.
