What does Acts 5:25 mean?

After the apostles were arrested and locked up overnight, God's angel opened the prison doors and they simply walked out. Rather than hiding or fleeing, they went straight back to the temple at dawn to keep teaching about Jesus. When the guards discovered the cells empty but the prisoners nowhere to be found, a messenger rushed to tell the religious leaders the stunning news. The apostles' choice shows their fearlessness and their conviction that nothing, not even imprisonment, would stop them from sharing their faith.
