Acts 4:23 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 4:23

And being let go
Or dismissed from custody, by the order of the sanhedrim: they went to their own company;
or "to their own men", as the Ethiopic version reads; or "to their own brethren", as the Syriac; either to the other ten apostles; or to the hundred and twenty, who first met together; or the whole multitude of them that believed, ( Acts 4:32 ) the eight thousand that had been added to them, the whole church. Saints love to be together, and delight in the company of each other; and especially when they have anything to communicate, that may be for their mutual good, or for the honour of God: and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto
them;
what commands and injunctions they had lain upon them, and what threatenings they had given them, and, no doubt likewise, what answers they had returned to them.
