19 Mas um anjo do Senhor, durante a noite, abriu as portas da prisão; e levando-os para fora, disse:

20 Ide; ficai em pé, e falai no Templo ao povo todas as palavras desta vida.

21 E eles, ouvindo [isto] , entraram de manhã cedo no templo, e ensinavam. Mas vindo o sumo sacerdote, e os que estavam com ele, chamaram ao supremo conselho, e a todos os anciãos dos filhos de Israel, e mandaram à prisão, para que os trouxessem.

22 Mas quando os oficiais vieram, não os acharam na prisão; e voltando, anunciaram,

23 Dizendo: Nós achamos a prisão fechada, em toda segurança, e com os guardas que estavam fora junto às portas; mas quando [as] abrimos, a ninguém achamos dentro.
