In context

24When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.

25Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”

26At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.

27They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.

28“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”
