His associates would include other leading members of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. This group held significant religious and political power in Jerusalem. The high priest and his associates were responsible for maintaining the religious order and were often in conflict with the early Christian movement, which they saw as a threat to their authority.who belonged to the party of the Sadducees The Sadducees were a sect within Judaism known for their aristocratic status and control of the temple. They were distinct from the Pharisees, another Jewish sect, in their denial of the resurrection, angels, and spirits, as noted in <a href="/acts/23-8.htm">Acts 23:8</a>. Their theological beliefs were more conservative, adhering strictly to the written Torah and rejecting oral traditions. The Sadducees' collaboration with Roman authorities helped them maintain their power, but it also made them wary of any movements that could disrupt the status quo, such as the burgeoning Christian church.were filled with jealousy The jealousy of the Sadducees was likely fueled by the apostles' growing influence and the miracles being performed in Jesus' name, which attracted large crowds and followers. This jealousy is reminiscent of the envy that led to Jesus' crucifixion, as noted in <a href="/matthew/27-18.htm">Matthew 27:18</a>. The apostles' success threatened the Sadducees' religious authority and their control over the people. This jealousy can be seen as a fulfillment of the opposition that Jesus predicted His followers would face, as recorded in <a href="/john/15-18.htm">John 15:18-21</a>.They went out This phrase indicates the proactive steps taken by the high priest and his associates to confront the apostles. Their decision to act against the apostles reflects the urgency and seriousness with which they viewed the threat posed by the early Christian movement.

Probably, as before, Annas or Caiaphas.Which is the sect of the Sadducees.--The fact, of which this is the only distinct record, is of immense importance as throwing light on the course of action taken by the upper class of priests, both during our Lord's ministry and in the history of this book. From the time of the teaching of <a href="/context/john/5-25.htm" title="Truly, truly, I say to you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.">John 5:25-29</a>, they must have felt that His doctrine was diametrically opposed to theirs. They made one attempt to turn that doctrine, on which, and almost on which alone, He and the Pharisees were in accord, into ridicule, and were baffled (<a href="/context/matthew/22-23.htm" title="The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,">Matthew 22:23-33</a>). The raising of Lazarus mingled a dogmatic antagonism with the counsels of political expediency (<a href="/context/john/11-49.htm" title="And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said to them, You know nothing at all,">John 11:49-50</a>). The prominence of the Resurrection of Jesus in the teaching of the Apostles now made the Sadducean high priests their most determined opponents. The Pharisees, on the other hand, less exposed now than they had been before to the condemnation passed by our Lord on their unreality and perverted casuistry, were drawing off from those with whom they had for a time coalesced, into a position at first of declared neutrality; then of secret sympathy; then, in many cases, of professed adherence (<a href="/acts/15-5.htm" title="But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.">Acts 15:5</a>).Filled with indignation.--The word is that elsewhere rendered "zeal," or "envy." Both meanings of the word were probably applicable here. There was "zeal" against the doctrine, "envy" of the popularity of the Apostles.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 17. - But for then, A.V.; they were filled for were filled, A.V.; jealousy for indignation, A.V. The high priest rose up. It was high time for him and his friends the Sadducees to be up and doing, if they wished to stop the spreading of the faith of Jesus Christ and the Resurrection. Which is the sect of the Sadducees (<a href="/acts/4-1.htm">Acts 4:1, 2</a>, note). It does not appear that Annas himself was a Sadducee, but his son was, and hence it is highly probable that the Sadducees should have attached themselves to Annas, and made a tool of him for suppressing the doctrine of the Resurrection. The sect; αἵρεσις (see <a href="/acts/15-5.htm">Acts 15:5</a>; <a href="/acts/24-5.htm">Acts 24:5, 14</a>; <a href="/acts/26-4.htm">Acts 26:4</a>; <a href="/acts/28-22.htm">Acts 28:22</a>). The word was applied first by Jews to Christians, and then by Christians to sects (<a href="/1_corinthians/11-19.htm">1 Corinthians 11:19</a>; <a href="/galatians/5-20.htm">Galatians 5:20</a>; <a href="/2_peter/2-1.htm">2 Peter 2:1</a>). Jealousy scarcely so well expresses the idea of ζῆλος here as indignation does. In the First Epistle of Clement, ζῆλος is applied to the anger of Cain, of Joseph's brethren, of the Israelites against Moses, of the persecution of St. Peter and St. Paul (iv., 5.). It is only occasionally that it means that kind of anger which we call jealousy. The high priest and his party were indignant at the defiance of their authority, and at the success of the doctrine which they had made it a special object to put down. <a href="/commentaries/acts/5-17.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Then δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. the ὁ (ho) Article - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
