Acts 5:23 in Context — Acts 5

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.

24 Quando o [sumo] sacerdote, o chefe da guarda do Templo, e os chefes dos sacerdotes ouviram estas palavras, eles duvidaram deles quanto o que aquilo viria a ser.

25 E vindo alguém, anunciou-lhes, dizendo: Eis que os homens que vós pusestes na prisão estão no Templo, e ensinam ao povo.
