TSK · Acts 5:26

When he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

But they said, "Not during the feast, lest a riot occur among the people."

The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people--for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
