Contextual Overview

17 Then the chiefe priest rose vp, and all they that were with hym, which is the sect of the Saducees, and were full of indignation: 18 And layed handes on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison. 19 But the Angel of the Lorde by nyght opened the prison doores, and brought them foorth, and sayde: 20 Go, and stande & speake in the temple to the people, all the wordes of this lyfe. 21 And when they hearde that, they entred into the temple early in ye mornyng, and taught: But the chiefe priest came, and they that were with hym, & called a counsayle together, and all the elders of the chyldren of Israel, and sent to the pryson to fet them. 22 But when the officers came, & founde them not in the pryson, they returned, and tolde, 23 Saying: The pryson truely founde we shut with all diligence, & the kepers standyng without, before the doores: But when we had opened, we founde no man within. 24 Then when the chiefe priest and the ruler of the temple, and the hye priestes hearde these thynges, they doubted of them, whervnto this woulde growe. 25 Then came one and shewed them, saying: Beholde, the men that ye put in pryson, stande in the temple, and teache the people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now when the high priest,.... Or "the priests", as it is read in most copies; the Complutensian edition reads, "the high priest"; and he is certainly designed, since he is distinguished from the chief priests after mentioned: the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions, leave out this word; as does also the Alexandrian copy:

and the captain of the temple; the same versions read in the plural number; :-,

:-,

:-.

and the chief priests heard these things; which the officers related, that the prison doors were shut and sure, and the keepers upon their watch, and yet the apostles gone:

they doubted of them, whereunto this would grow; they did not doubt of the truth of the things their officers told them, but they were amazed at them, and hesitated in their minds about them, and were anxiously thoughtful; what this would, or should be, or how this should be done; that the prison doors should be shut, and yet the prisoners gone; they were in suspense and anxiety of mind, what to impute it to; whether to a divine and supernatural power, or to magic art; and were uneasy in their minds what would be the issue of so strange and surprising an event.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The captain of the temple - See the notes on Acts 4:1.

Doubted of them - They were in “perplexity” about these things. The word rendered “doubted” denotes “that state of anxiety which arises when a person has lost his way, or when he does not know what to do to escape from a difficulty.” See Luke 9:7.

Whereunto this would grow - What this “would be”; or, what would be the result or end of these events. For:

  1. Their authority was disregarded.
  2. God had opposed them by a miracle.

(3)The doctrines of the apostles were gaining ground.

(4)Their efforts to resist them had been in vain. They need “not” have doubted; but sinners are not disposed to be convinced of the truth of religion.



Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 5:24. They doubted of them whereunto this would grow. — They did not know what to think of the apostles, whether they had saved themselves by magic, or whether they were delivered by a real miracle; and they were at a loss to tell what the issue of these things would be.
