Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 4:1

ANd as they spake unto the people, the priests and the captain of the temple , and the Sadduces came upon them ,

The Commander over those Soldiers who were appointed to guard the Temple, and provide that no disorder might happen, by reason of the multitudes that came to worship there; and most probably was a Roman, and not of the Iewish Nation, much less the chief of any of the courses of the Priests, to whom this term cannot agree.

These were most inveterate against the Gospel, whose main Article is the Resurrection, which they denied; and thus each man, Iews and Gentiles, agree against Christ, as was foretold, Psal. 2.1, 2.
