19 Mais un ange du Seigneur, ayant ouvert pendant la nuit les portes de la prison, les fit sortir, et leur dit:

20 Allez, tenez-vous dans le temple, et annoncez au peuple toutes les paroles de cette vie.

21 Ayant entendu cela, ils entrèrent dès le matin dans le temple, et se mirent à enseigner. Le souverain sacrificateur et ceux qui étaient avec lui étant survenus, ils convoquèrent le sanhédrin et tous les anciens des fils d’Israël, et ils envoyèrent chercher les apôtres à la prison.

22 Les huissiers, à leur arrivée, ne les trouvèrent point dans la prison. Ils s’en retournèrent, et firent leur rapport,

23 en disant: Nous avons trouvé la prison soigneusement fermée, et les gardes qui étaient devant les portes; mais, après avoir ouvert, nous n’avons trouvé personne dedans.
