Contextual Overview

17 Then the high priest, and all that accompanied him, who were of the sect of the Sadducees, being filled with indignation, 18 went and seized on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. 19 but an angel of the Lord opened the prison-doors by night, and having brought them out, said to them, 20 go, stand in the temple, and declare to the people, the whole doctrine of life. 21 when they heard that, they entred into the temple early in the morning, and taught. in the mean time, the high priest, and those of his party, being arrived at the council-chamber, summon'd all the Jewish senate to meet, and sent to the prison to bring the apostles before them. 22 but the officers who went there not finding them in the prison, returned, and made this report, 23 the prison we found shut very secure, and the keepers posted before the doors: but when we had opened it, we found no body within. 24 Upon hearing this, the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests wonder'd bow this could be. 25 when somebody came and told them, the men whom ye order'd to prison, are standing in the temple, and 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.
