Contextual Overview

17Then the high priest and all his associates (who belonged to the party of the Sadducees) rose up with jealousy. 18They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.19But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying, 20"Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life." 21At daybreak, the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived in the Council, they called together the full assembly of the elders of Israel, and sent to the jail for the apostles. 22But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report: 23"We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside." 24When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening. 25Then someone came in and announced, "Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts, 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.
