Contextual Overview

17 The high priest and all the other Sadducees who were with him became jealous. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the city jail. 19 But that night an angel from the Lord opened the doors of the jail and led the apostles out. The angel said, 20 "Go to the temple and tell the people everything about this new life." 21 So they went into the temple before sunrise and started teaching. The high priest and his men called together their council, which included all of Israel's leaders. Then they ordered the apostles to be brought to them from the jail. 22 The temple police who were sent to the jail did not find the apostles. They returned and said, 23 "We found the jail locked tight and the guards standing at the doors. But when we opened the doors and went in, we didn't find anyone there." 24 The captain of the temple police and the chief priests listened to their report, but they did not know what to think about it. 25 Just then someone came in and said, "Right now those men you put in jail are in the temple, 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.
