Acts 5:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ When they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and went on with their teaching.

When the high priest and those with him arrived, they called together the council and the whole body of the elders of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. ²² But when the temple police went there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported, ²³ “We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
