  • ADA020 The miraculous deliverance of the apostles

    This article examines the miraculous deliverance of the apostles (Acts 5.19-21) in Jerusalem in the spring of 33. Arrested by the high priest and the Sadducees, the apostles are freed from prison by an angel during the night. Luke relates this miracle with restraint, stressing its theological significance and its parallels with the Old Testament. The angel entrusts the freed apostles with the mission of announcing in the Temple 'all the words of this life', an expression referring to the message of salvation in Jesus Christ.

    Acts 5.18 (King James Version) :
    And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.

Luke thus draws an intentional parallel between the Master and his disciple.

    Acts 6.12 (King James Version) :
    And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
