24. Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass.
25. But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, and teaching the people.
26. Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
27. And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
28. Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.
29. But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.
30. The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
31. Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
