And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

And they bring them and set them in the council. And the high priest asked them,

and having brought them, they set them in the sanhedrim, and the chief priest questioned them,

So they brought them and made them stand in front of the Sanhedrin. And then the High Priest questioned them.

And they took them into the Sanhedrin, and the high priest said to them,

And when they had brought them, they stood them before the council. And the high priest questioned them,

And then brought them before the Council. The high priest demanded an explanation from them.

And when they had brought them,.... From the temple, to the place where the sanhedrim sat, which, by this, seems to have been not in the room Gazith, nor in the shops, which were both in the temple, but in some part of the city of Jerusalem:
they set them before the council; whereby was fulfilled what Christ had foretold, Matthew 10:17 "they will deliver you up to the councils"; they placed them before the whole sanhedrim; in the midst of it; see Gill on Acts 4:7; and as the Ethiopic version here reads:
and the high priest asked them; though he was not president of the council, but Gamaliel, after mentioned; yet being in so high an office, and a principal member of the council, took upon him the examination of the apostles.

SECOND APPEARANCE AND TESTIMONY BEFORE THE SAMHEDRIM--ITS RAGE CALMED BY GAMALIEL--BEING DISMISSED, THEY DEPART REJOICING, AND CONTINUE THEIR PREACHING. (Acts 5:27-42)
ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine--noble testimony to the success of their preaching, and (for the reason mentioned on Acts 4:4) to the truth of their testimony, from reluctant lips!

The high priest asked them. As president. He charges (1) that they had disregarded the authority of the Sanhedrim; (2) they had filled Jerusalem with their doctrine; (3) they would work up the people to indignation against the rulers for condemning Christ.
