“And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.”
Acts 4:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 4:3
The arrest - 'laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day' - demonstrates that gospel proclamation produces opposition from worldly powers. The phrase 'it was now eventide' explains the delay in trial due to Jewish legal procedure prohibiting night trials. This imprisonment parallels Christ's arrest, beginning the pattern of apostolic suffering 'for his name's sake' (v. 17). Peter and John's courage, recently fearful at Christ's trial, shows Spirit-transformation.
