Contextual Overview

¹⁷ And the high priest was filled with indignation, and all those with him who were of the doctrine of the Sadducees. ¹⁸ And they laid hands on the legates, and took and bound them in prison. ¹⁹ Then the angel of the Lord, by night, opened the door of the prison, and let them out; and said to them: ²⁰ Go, stand in the temple, and speak to the people all these words of life. ²¹ And in the morning, they went and entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest and those with him, convoked their associates and the Elders of Israel, and sent to the prison to bring forth the legates. ²² And when those sent by them went, they found them not in the prison; and they returned and came back, ²³ and said: We found the prison carefully closed, and also the keepers standing before the doors; and we opened, but found no one there. ²⁴ And when the chief priests and rulers of the temple heard these words, they were astonished at them; and they studied what this could mean. ²⁵ And one came and informed them: Those men, whom ye shut up in the prison, lo, they are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
