Acts 5:23 in Context — Acts 5
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.
24 Lorsqu’ils eurent entendu ces paroles, le commandant du temple et les principaux sacrificateurs ne savaient que penser des apôtres et des suites de cette affaire.
25 Quelqu’un vint leur dire: Voici, les hommes que vous avez mis en prison sont dans le temple, et ils enseignent le peuple.
