Acts 5:24-29
New American Standard Bible
24 Now when (A)the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them as to what [a]would come of this. 25 But someone came and reported to them, “The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple area and teaching the people!” 26 Then (B)the captain went along with (C)the officers and proceeded to bring them back without violence (for (D)they were afraid of the people, that they might be stoned).
27 When they had brought them, they had them stand [b]before (E)the Council. The high priest interrogated them, 28 saying, “We gave you (F)strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and [c]yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and (G)intend to bring this Man’s blood upon us.” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “(H)We must obey God rather than men.

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)

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.
