Acts 5:21–33

²¹And when they heard that, they entered ^fginto the temple ^gearly in the morning, and taught. ^hBut the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called ⁱthe council together, and all ^kthe senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. ²²But when the ^lofficers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told, ²³Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within. ²⁴Now when the ^llhigh priest and the ^mcaptain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they ⁿdoubted of them whereunto this would grow. ²⁵Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing ^fin the temple, and teaching the people. ²⁶Then went the ^mcaptain with the ^lofficers, and brought them without violence: ^ofor they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned. ²⁷And when they had brought them, they set them before ⁱthe council: and the high priest asked them, ²⁸Saying, ^pDid not we ^qstraitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and ^rintend to bring this man’s ^sblood upon us. ²⁹Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, ^tWe ought to obey God rather than men. ^30uThe God of our fathers ^xraised up Jesus, ^ywhom ye slew and ^zhanged on a tree. ³¹Him hath God exalted ^awith his right hand to be ^ba Prince and ^ca Saviour, for to give ^drepentance to Israel, and ^deforgiveness of sins. ³²And ^fwe are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, ^gwhom God hath given to them that obey him.

³³When they heard that, they were cut ^hto the heart, and ⁱtook counsel to slay them.
