Acts 5:24-26

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁴ When the officer of the temple guards and the chief priests heard this, they were puzzled about what could have happened.

²⁵ Then someone told them, “The men you put in prison are standing in the temple courtyard. They’re teaching the people.”

²⁶ Then the officer of the temple guards went with some of his men to bring back the apostles without using force. After all, the officer and his guards were afraid that the people would stone them to death for using force.
