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
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:
- Their authority was disregarded.
- 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.
