Acts 5:23 in Context — Acts 5
21 Y oído que hubieron [esto], entraron de mañana en el templo, y enseñaban. Entre tanto, viniendo el príncipe de los sacerdotes, y los que eran con él, convocaron el concilio, y á todos los ancianos de los hijos de Israel, y enviaron á la cárcel para que fuesen traídos.
22 Mas como llegaron los ministros, y no los hallaron en la cárcel, volvieron, y dieron aviso,
23 Diciendo: Por cierto, la cárcel hemos hallado cerrada con toda seguridad, y los guardas que estaban delante de las puertas; mas cuando abrimos, á nadie hallamos dentro.
24 Y cuando oyeron estas palabras el pontífice y el magistrado del templo y los príncipes de los sacerdotes, dudaban en qué vendría á parar aquello.
25 Pero viniendo uno, dióles [esta] noticia: He aquí, los varones que echasteis en la cárcel, están en el templo, y enseñan al pueblo.
