Contextual Overview

26Then the captain went with the officers and brought them back, without hurting them (because they were afraid of the people, worried that they might be stoned). 27So they brought them and presented them before the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court). The high priest questioned them,28saying, "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this Man's blood on us [by accusing us as His murderers]." 29Then Peter and the apostles replied, "We must obey God rather than men [we have no other choice]. 30"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a cross [and you are responsible]. 31"God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. 32"And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has bestowed on those who obey Him." 33Now when they heard this, they were infuriated and they intended to kill the apostles. 34But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law [of Moses], highly esteemed by all the people, stood up in the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) and ordered that the men be taken outside for a little while. 35Then he said to the Council, "Men of Israel, be careful in regard to what you propose to do to these men.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when they had brought them,.... From the temple, to the place where the sanhedrim sat, which, by this, seems to have been not in the room Gazith, nor in the shops, which were both in the temple, but in some part of the city of Jerusalem:

they set them before the council; whereby was fulfilled what Christ had foretold, Matthew 10:17 "they will deliver you up to the councils"; they placed them before the whole sanhedrim; in the midst of it,

Matthew 10:17- :; and as the Ethiopic version here reads:

and the high priest asked them; though he was not president of the council, but Gamaliel, after mentioned; yet being in so high an office, and a principal member of the council, took upon him the examination of the apostles.
