Acts 5:24-32
King James Version
Acts 5:24-32
King James Version
24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Acts 5:24-32
New International Version
24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests(A) were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to.
25 Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.” 26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people(B) would stone them.
27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin(C) to be questioned by the high priest. 28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,”(D) he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”(E)
29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!(F) 30 The God of our ancestors(G) raised Jesus from the dead(H)—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.(I) 31 God exalted him to his own right hand(J) as Prince and Savior(K) that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.(L) 32 We are witnesses of these things,(M) and so is the Holy Spirit,(N) whom God has given to those who obey him.”
