Contextual Overview
17The head preacher and his cronies, who belonged the Sadducees, were jealous and completely frustrated because of what these cowboys were doing.
18They arrested the cowboys and threw them in jail.
19But God sent an angel that night to open the prison doors and set the cowboys free. The angel told them,
20"Go to the main church and give people the good news about the new life that is available to all."
21The cowboys rode through the gates of the main church at daylight and spoke loud and clear for all to hear.When the head preacher and his cronies arrived at work that day, they called for an emergency meeting of all the bigwig rulers of Israel. They told the guards to bring the cowboys in for a hearing.
22But when the church police went to get them, they found the guards still there and all the doors locked, but no one was inside. They ran back to the meeting and said,
23"The doors are locked and the guards are there, but the ones who ain't there are the cowboys. They've vanished!"
24Everyone looked around trying to figure out what had happened and who could be blamed for their escape.
25Then someone busted in and said, "Look out the window! Those cowboys we arrested are out there in front of the main church teaching again."

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.
