So, now the Sadducees ask the question “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name.” That is not my question I would ask. My question would be:
“Uh, how did you get out of jail when it was securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors???”
Am I the only one wonder about this? Maybe the Sadducees did not want to know how they got out of jail because they would be told of the miracle that was done for them to leave the jail (Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out) and they would have to praise the Lord and Creator, Jesus.

(Acts 5:27-29 NIV) Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. {28} "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood." {29} Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men!
(Acts 5:12 NIV) The apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade.
(Acts 5:17-18 NIV) Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. {18} They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
(Acts 5:22-23 NIV) But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they went back and reported, {23} "We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
(Acts 5:20 NIV) "Go, stand in the temple courts," he said, "and tell the people the full message of this new life."
(Acts 5:19 NIV) But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out.
