Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 4:23

23 ¶ And being let go , they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

They went to their own company; the rest of the Apostles and believers, who have a special propriety and delight in one another, sheep with sheep, and goats with goats; tho the separation will be made at the last day, the foundation of it is laid here.

To forewarn them of what they might expect, and encourage them to hope for the like deliverance

What hath been said concerning them, might be added, that these it may be were the first or chief in the courses, which David divided the Priests unto, which division was observed till our Saviours time, Luke 1.5.
