Contextual Overview
17 Then the high priest, and all that accompanied him, who were of the sect of the Sadducees, being filled with indignation, 18 went and seized on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. 19 but an angel of the Lord opened the prison-doors by night, and having brought them out, said to them, 20 go, stand in the temple, and declare to the people, the whole doctrine of life. 21 when they heard that, they entred into the temple early in the morning, and taught. in the mean time, the high priest, and those of his party, being arrived at the council-chamber, summon'd all the Jewish senate to meet, and sent to the prison to bring the apostles before them. 22 but the officers who went there not finding them in the prison, returned, and made this report, 23 the prison we found shut very secure, and the keepers posted before the doors: but when we had opened it, we found no body within. 24 Upon hearing this, the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests wonder'd bow this could be. 25 when somebody came and told them, the men whom ye order'd to prison, are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But when the officers came,.... The Arabic version adds, "to it"; that is, to the prison;
and found them not in the prison. The Vulgate Latin version reads, "the prison being opened they found them not"; when they came to the prison, they opened the doors of it, or the keepers for them; for though the angel had opened them for the apostles, yet he shut them again, as he brought them out; for these men found the doors shut, as the following verse shows, and who upon opening them and searching the prison, for the apostles, could find none of them in it; wherefore they returned; the Arabic version reads, "to them"; to the sanhedrim:
and told; that is, them, as both the Arabic and Ethiopic versions read.
