Apostlenes gjerninger 5,26

24 Da lederen av tempelvakten og yppersteprestene hørte dette, ble de forvirret og lurte på hva som kunne komme ut av dette.

25 Da kom noen og sa: “Se! Mennene dere satte i fengsel står i tempelgårdene og underviser folket.”

Da gikk lederen med sine offiserer og brakte apostlene tilbake uten makt, for de fryktet at folket kunne steine dem.

27 Apostlene ble brakt inn og presentert for Sanhedrin for å bli avhørt av ypperstepresten.

28 “Vi ga dere strenge ordre om ikke å undervise i dette navnet,” sa han. “Likevel har dere fylt Jerusalem med deres undervisning og har til hensikt å bringe denne mannens blod over oss.”
