This for t hat, A.V.; about day. break for early in the morning, A.V.; prison-house for prison, A.V. About daybreak. In the hot climate of Jerusalem people are about very early in the meriting (comp. Matthew 26:57 , Matthew 26:75 ).

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:21-24

The hopelessness of fighting against God. The narrative indicates that the Sanhedrim had fully entered on the work of checking and crushing the party of Christ's disciples. Gamaliel expressed what the nature of their action might possibly prove to be—it might be even a "fighting against God." Some effort should be made to realize what they thought about their work, and how they deluded themselves with the notion that they alone were guardians of the truth of God, and in opposing the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 5:21

Early in the morning - Greek: at the break of day. Compare Luke 24:1; John 8:2.Called the council together - The Sanhedrin, or the Great Council of the nation. This was clearly for the purpose of “trying” the apostles for disregarding their commandments.And all the senate - Greek: “eldership.” Probably these were not a part of the Sanhedrin, but were people of age and experience, who in Acts 4:8; Acts 25:15, are called “elders of the Jews,” and who were present for the sake of counsel Canal... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 5:19-23

Acts 5:19-23. But the angel of the Lord opened the prison doors In spite of all the locks and bars that were upon them, and without giving any alarm to the keepers, or any of the other prisoners; and brought them forth Hereby God evidently showed how impotent the rage of the priests and rulers was against those whom he determined to support. And said, Go, stand and speak to the people They must not think they were thus miraculously delivered, in order that they might save their lives by... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 5:17-42

Opposition from Jewish leaders (5:17-42)A sizable portion of the population of Jerusalem was now Christian (cf. 2:41,47; 4:4,16,17; 5:14,16,28). And the more the church grew, the more jealous and angry the Sadducees became. Again they brought the apostles before the Sanhedrin, though God showed he could rescue them at any time, should he so desire (17-21a). The apostles knew that, because of their widespread popular support, they could have successfully resisted arrest, but they chose not to.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 5:12-42

3. Intensified external opposition 5:12-42God’s power manifest through the apostles in blessing (Acts 3:1-26) as well as in judgment (Acts 5:1-11) made an increasingly powerful impact on the residents of Jerusalem. The Jewish leaders increased their opposition to the apostles as they had increased their opposition to Jesus. Luke preserved the record of the developing attitudes that resulted. The Sadducees became more jealous and antagonistic, the Pharisees chose to react with moderation, and... read more
