Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Ward for hold, A.V. (see ver. 18); morrow for next day, A.V. They laid hands on them. The harsh persecution of the disciples at Jerusalem at this time when the Sadducees were in power is in exact accordance with Josephus's statement in the passage just referred to, that the Sadducees were more severe and cruel in their administration of justice than any other Jews. Their tenet of no life to come made them look to severe punishments in this life.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) It was now eventide.--The narrative started, it will be remembered, from 3 P.M. (Acts 3:1). The "eventide" began at 6 P.M.Put them in hold.--Literally, in custody. In Acts 5:18, the word is translated "prison." The old noun survives in our modern word "strong-hold."
