In context
16Crowds also came in from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and every one of them was healed. 17Then the high priest and all his circle — the party of the Sadducees — rose up, filled with jealousy. 18They laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison. 19But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, led them out and said: 20“Go, stand in the temple and tell the people the whole message of this life.”
