Acts5:26

26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: For they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.

They might peradventure, think it needless or impossible, to bind them against their wills, who had opened the prison, and so miraculously came out; howsoever another more certain reason is given of it: They feared men more than God, who had done so great things amongst them.
