Bible verse
Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
Acts 5:25 · BSB
The verses around it, from Acts 5.
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!”
26 At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.
27 They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”
29 But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.
