A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS
PART V -X
"We, the officers, had been sent on a mission to the jail.... The religious leaders had told us to bring the prisonsers to them.... The men they had jailed the night before for preaching....So we went to the jail... We opened all the prison doors... We then arrived at the cell where the prisoners had been locked up the night before... It was strange because we did not hear anything... Perhaps they were all still fast asleep.... We opened the door of the cell.... But we could not see anyone... That was impossible!!... We knew they were put there the night before!!... However, we knew too that they were no longer there.... Wherever they might be now, they were not in the prison cell where they were supposed to be....What should we do now?".... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn of the visit of the officers to the prison....
ATTACHMENT A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS
PART V -X
The angel, having opened the prison doors, had "forgotten" to tell the religious leaders of the jail breakout so they gathered together in the early morning and sent for the apostles to appear before them as you can read in Acts 5:21b-22a
When the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin - the full assembly of the elders of Israel - and sent to the jail for the apostles. But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there.
The officers looked at each other. They knew they had a problem on their hands. There were no prisoners. They knew too that they had to report this loss to the religious leaders.
