At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.

Explanation preview

The verse follows Peter's miraculous escape from prison, where Herod had placed him under four squads of guards. The soldiers discover at dawn that their prisoner is gone, and the Greek phrase rendered "no small commotion" is a deliberate understatement, a common way Luke describes something very serious.
