Contextual Overview

17But the high priest stood up, along with all his associates (that is, the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy and resentment. 18They arrested the apostles and put them in a public jail.19But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, and leading them out, he said, 20"Go, stand and continue to tell the people in the temple [courtyards] the whole message of this Life [the eternal life revealed by Christ and found through faith in Him]." 21When they heard this, they went into the temple [courtyards] about daybreak and began teaching. Now when the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court), even all the council of elders of the sons of Israel, and sent word to the prison for the apostles to be brought [before them]. 22But when the officers arrived, they did not find them in the prison; and they came back and reported, 23"We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened [the doors], we found no one inside." 24Now when the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these things, they were greatly perplexed, wondering what would come of this. 25But someone came and told them, "The men whom you put in prison are standing [right here] in the temple [area], teaching the people!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And laid their hands on the apostles,.... That is, laid hold on them, and took them, and carried them away; at least their servants did so, by their orders:

and put them in the common prison; where malefactors were put; and this both for greater security, and for greater disgrace.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The common prison - The public prison; or the prison for the keeping of common and notorious offenders.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 5:18. Put them in the common prison. — It being too late in the evening to bring them to a hearing. To this verse the Codex Bezae adds, και επορευθη εἱς ἑκαστος εις τα ιδια, And each of them went to his own house.
