Commentary on Acts 5:23

Theological / Devotional

Found we shut. If the angel had unlocked the doors, he locked them after freeing the apostles. The guards at the gates seem not to have been aware that the prisoners had escaped. Compare release of Peter (ch. 12:6-10), but contrast the furor and drama of Paul and Silas’ experience in Philippi (ch. 16:25-30).
