Jewish leaders jailed the apostles, but an angel freed them to teach people.

Acts 5:17-21a

17 Then the high priest and all who were with him, who were members of the local Sadducee sect in Jerusalem, became very jealous of the apostles, because many people were accepting the apostles’ message. 18 So they commanded the Temple guards to seize the apostles and put them in the public jail. 19 The guards did that, but during the night an angel from the Lord God opened the jail doors and brought the apostles outside! The guards were not aware of what the angel had done. 20 Then the angel said to the apostles, “Go to the Temple courtyard, stand there, and tell the people all about how God can give them eternal life!” 21 So having heard this, about dawn they entered the Temple courtyard and began to teach the people again about Jesus.
