A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS
PART V -XIV
"I, Peter, and the other apostles, found ourselves before the Religious Leaders.... It is clear they are very frustrated with us.... They realise that we have been very effective in our ministry in Jerusalem... Consequently, the message about Jesus death and resurection has spread throughout the city....They know too that everyone now knows they are responsible for the death of Jesus...This means that they are losing their reputation in this city.....They cannot afford for that to happen.... The only way they can think of putting a stop to it is by once again telling us not to speak about Jesus..... But that will never happen.... We are all determined to preach about Jesus no matter the consequences.".... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn what the Religious Leaders think about the apostles....

They had already decided among themselves not to mention the incident of the jail breakout for that would not look good for them. Instead, they would just pretend the incident had not happened, and only tell them once again to stop speaking abiout this Man Jesus, for these apostles were determined to make it look as if they were guilty of that Man's blood as you can read in Acts 5:27-28
Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. "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 guilty of this Man's blood."
The high priest is very angry with the apostles that they have dared to disobey his clear instructions.
