17But the high priest rose up,and all thosewho were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees),and they were filled with jealousy18and laid hands on the apostles,then put them in public custody.19But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night,and brought them out and said,20“Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”

21When they heard this,they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught.But the high priest and those who were with him cameand called the council together,with all the senate of the children of Israel,and sent to the prison to have them brought.22But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison.They returned and reported,23“We found the prison shut and locked,and the guards standing before the doors,but when we opened them,we found no one inside!”

24Now when the high priest,the captain of the temple,and the chief priests heard these words,they were very perplexed about themand what might become of this.25One came and told them,“Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple,standing and teaching the people.”26Then the captain went with the officers,and brought them without violence,for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

2I will bless the Lord at all times.His praise will always be in my mouth.3My soul shall boast in the Lord.The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

4Oh magnify the Lord with me.Let’s exalt his name together.5I sought the Lord, and he answered me,and delivered me from all my fears.

6They looked to him, and were radiant.Their faces shall never be covered with shame.7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him,and saved him out of all his troubles.

8The Lord’s angel encamps around those who fear him,and delivers them.9Oh taste and see that the Lord is good.Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

16For God so loved the world,that he gave his only born Son,that whoever believes in him should not perish,but have eternal life.17For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world,but that the world should be saved through him.18He who believes in him is not judged.He who doesn’t believe has been judged already,because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.19This is the judgment,that the light has come into the world,and men loved the darkness rather than the light,for their works were evil.20For everyone who does evil hates the lightand doesn’t come to the light,lest his works would be exposed.21But he who does the truth comes to the light,that his works may be revealed,that they have been done in God.”
