The captain of the temple - See the notes on Acts 4:1. Doubted of them - They were in “perplexity” about these things. The word rendered “doubted” denotes “that state of anxiety which arises when a person has lost his way, or when he does not know what to do to escape from a difficulty.” See Luke 9:7. Whereunto this would grow - What this “would be”; or, what would be the result or end of these events. For: Their authority was disregarded. God had opposed them by a miracle. (3)The doctrines of the apostles were gaining ground. (4)Their efforts to resist them had been in vain. They need “not” have doubted; but sinners are not disposed to be convinced of the truth of religion. return to 'Top of Page'
