23. Again, after the Twelve Apostles had
been cast into prison by the chief priests for preaching Christ, and
had been marvellously delivered from it at night by an Angel, and were
brought before them in the judgment hall from the Temple, they
fearlessly rebuked them in their discourse to them concerning Christ,
and added this, that God hath also given His Holy Spirit to them
that obey Him Ib. v.
32.. And
when they had been scourged,
they went their way rejoicing, and ceased not to teach and preach
Jesus as the Christ Acts v. 42..
