Acts 5:26

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

Ver. 26. And brought them without violence ] The apostles made no resistance, but showed themselves patient and peaceable, blameless amidst a perverse generation, and harmless as doves, that neither provoke the hawk nor project revenge; but when pursued, they save themselves, if they can, by flight, and not by fight.
