Commentary on Acts 5:23
The council's bewilderment - 'Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow' - shows confusion at God's evident approval. The Greek 'diēporoun' (doubted) means 'thoroughly perplexed,' unable to explain or predict outcomes. Their question 'whereunto this would grow' acknowledges momentum beyond their control. Gamaliel's later speech (v. 34-39) addresses this uncertainty with wise counsel.
