Charles Ellicott Commentary Acts 4:21

"And they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done." — Acts 4:21 (ASV)

All men glorified God . . .—The tense implies continued action. It is especially characteristic of St. Luke thus to note the impression made on the people by signs and wonders (Luke 2:20; Luke 4:15; and in seven other passages).
