Acts 5:25
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.
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.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
