And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,

And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

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.
