At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.
Acts 5:21 · BSB
The verses around it, from Acts 5.
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out
18 and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,
20 “Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
21 At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.
22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:
23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
24 When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.
25 Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
