Peter and John Before the Council
“And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, captain: or, ruler”
Acts 4:1 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 4:1
The arrival of 'priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees' signals organized religious opposition to gospel preaching. The Greek 'stratēgos' (captain) commanded temple police with authority to arrest. This triadic opposition - priestly aristocracy, temple security, and Sadducean theology - represents comprehensive establishment resistance. That they 'came upon them' (Greek 'epestēsan') suggests aggressive intervention, not mere inquiry, foreshadowing persecution's escalation.
