Wesley's Notes for Acts 5:22

5:20 The words of this - That is, these words of life: words which show the way to life everlasting.

5:23 We found the prison shut - The angel probably had shut the doors again.

5:24 They doubted what this should be - They were even at their wits' end. The world, in persecuting the children of God, entangle themselves in numberless difficulties.
