Contextual Overview

17 And rising up, the high priest and all those with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with zeal, 18 and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody. 19 But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison during the night, and leading them out, he said, 20 Go! And standing in the temple, speak to the people all the words of this Life. 21 And hearing, they went into the temple about dawn and taught. But having come near, the high priest and those with him called together the sanhedrin and all the elderhood of the sons of Israel. And brought. 22 But having come near, the officers did not find them in the prison. And returning, they reported, 23 saying, Indeed we found the jail having been shut with all security, and the guards outside standing before the doors. But opening it, we found no one inside. 24 And when they heard these words, both the priest and the temple commander and the chief priests were in doubt concerning them, what this might be. 25 But having come, one reported to them, saying, Behold, the men whom you put in the prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then came one and told them, saying,.... Who this man was, is of no consequence to know; it can hardly be thought that he was one of the number of the disciples, or a member of the church, or a professor of the Christian religion; but rather an enemy, and one that sought his own interest, and to obtain the favour and affection of the chief priests and elders, and therefore very officiously came to them, and reported as follows:

behold, the men whom ye put in prison, last night,

are standing in the temple; openly and publicly, and without fear;

and teaching the people; in the name of Jesus, which the sanhedrim had forbid them to do.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 5:25. Then came one and told them — While they were in the perplexity mentioned above, a messenger surprised them with the information that the very men whom they had imprisoned the preceding night were standing in the temple and teaching the people!
