“Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.”
“saying, The prison-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within. ”
“"We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!"”
““We found the jail locked securely and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside.””
“Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the door: but opening it, we found no man within.”
“Saying, The doors of the prison were safely shut, and the keepers were at the doors, but when they were open, there was nobody inside.”

“Go and stand in the temple, speaking to the people all these words of life.”
And when they had heard this, they entered the temple at first light, and they were teaching. Then the high priest, and those who were with him, approached, and they called together the council and all the elders of the sons of Israel. And they sent to the prison to have them brought.
But when the attendants had arrived, and, upon opening the prison, had not found them, they returned and reported to them,
saying: “We found the prison certainly locked up with all diligence, and the guards standing before the door. But upon opening it, we found no one within.”
Then, when the magistrate of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were uncertain about them, as to what should happen.
But someone arrived and reported to them, “Behold, the men whom you placed in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”
Then the magistrate, with the attendants, went and brought them without force. For they were afraid of the people, lest they be stoned.
