17Then the high prist rising up, and all those who were with him, (which is the heresy of the Sadducees,) were satisfied with envy.

18And they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

19But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said:

20Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

21Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest coming, and those who were with him, called together the council, and all the leaders of the children of Israel; and they sent to the prison to have them brought.

22But when the ministers came, and opening the prison, found them not there, they returned and told,

23Saying: The prison indeed we found shut carefully, and the keepers standing before the doors; but opening it, we found no man within.

24Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass.

25But one came and told them: Look, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, and teaching the people.

26Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.

2I will bless the Lord always, his praise shall be always in my mouth.

3In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the gentle hear and rejoice.

4OH magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.

5I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he rescued me from all my troubles.

6Come you to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be put to shame.

7This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.

8The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.

9OH taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the person who hopeth in him.

16For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whoever believes in him, may not perish, but may have life eternal.

17For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.

18He that believes in him is not judged. But the one who does not believe, is already judged: because he believes not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.

20For every one that does evil hates the light, and comes not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.

21But the one who does truth, comes to the light, that his works may be made clear, because they are done in God.
