  1. Two thousand+ years ago the apostles of Christ were arrested and put in prison under well armed guards at the gate. But at night the angel of God opened the door and asked them to go and had the door securely locked up again. When the Sanhedrin reconvened in the morning and sent for the disciples they were already preaching at the temple area.
    Do you see difference. May be there was false allegation.
    See Acts 5: 17-23
