While Peter and John were addressing the people, the priests, the chief of the Temple police, and some Sadducees came up, indignant that these upstart apostles were instructing the people and proclaiming that the resurrection from the dead had taken place in Jesus.

Acts 4:1 - Additional Comments

Note that is wasn't the miracle that disturbed them, it was the message that followed the healing.
The leaders that were hearing the message:
- Priests - those serving in the temple for the week
- The commander - responsible for temple security & dealt with problems & threats to the temple; he was needed to make an arrest.
- The Sadducees - the aristocrats (superior) of the religious sects in Judaism, made up of High Priests; they supported Rome & profited financially from their relationship to Rome; they didn't believe in the resurrection of the dead, so this preaching of this was obnoxious to them.
