John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 5:23

Saying, the prison truly found we shut with all safety ,.... Locked, barred and bolted; and the keepers standing without before the doors ; both inner and outer in their proper places, diligently discharging their office: but when we had opened we found no man within ; that is, none of the apostles, for there might be other prisoners in it, who were not released by this means. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 5:24

Now when the high priest ,.... Or "the priests", as it is read in most copies; the Complutensian edition reads, "the high priest"; and he is certainly designed, since he is distinguished from the chief priests after mentioned: the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions, leave out this word; as does also the Alexandrian copy: and the captain of the temple ; the same versions read in the plural number; See Gill on Luke 22:4 , Luke 22:52 , Acts 4:1 . and the chief priests... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 5:25

Then came one and told them, saying ,.... Who this man was, is of no consequence to know; it can hardly be thought that he was one of the number of the disciples, or a member of the church, or a professor of the Christian religion; but rather an enemy, and one that sought his own interest, and to obtain the favour and affection of the chief priests and elders, and therefore very officiously came to them, and reported as follows: behold, the men whom ye put in prison , last night, are... read more

Then went the captain with the offcers ,.... That is, the captain of the temple, who had the command of it; he went thither attended with the officers and servants of the chief priests, the same that had been sent to the prison, to fetch the apostles: and brought them without violence ; they did not lay hold upon them, and drag them away in a violent manner; but gave them good words, and allured them, and entreated them to go along with them, and perhaps promised them, that no hurt... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 5:27

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... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 5:28

Saying, did not we straitly command you ,.... Or give you strict orders, with severe threatenings, that you should not teach in this name ? the Ethiopic version reads, "in the name of Jesus"; which is what is meant, but was not expressed by the sanhedrim; see Acts 4:17 and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine ; they disregarded the council, and its orders, its commands and threatenings, and preached the doctrines of the Gospel; and particularly that concerning the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 5:29

Then Peter, and the other apostles, answered and said ,.... Peter began, as the mouth of the apostles, being the eldest man, and very bold and zealous; and the rest followed, or joined, with him in what he said: we ought to obey God rather than men ; this is said in answer to the charge of disobedience to the orders and commands of the council: men, civil magistrates, and ecclesiastical rulers, are to be obeyed in things which are not repugnant to the will of God; but in things that are,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 5:30

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus ,.... Not from the dead, though this was true; but called him to the work and office of a Saviour, inverted him with that office, and sent him to perform that work; so that this refers rather to the incarnation of Christ, in consequence of the ancient council and covenant of grace: and this the apostles attribute to God the Father, under the character of "the God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob", as in Acts 3:13 , to show that they did not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 5:31

Him hath God exalted with his right hand ,.... Not at his right hand, though he is exalted to it, and is set down at it, but with, or by his right hand; that is, by his power: for being by him raised from the dead, he was exalted to the highest heavens, and placed in human nature at the right hand of God, on the same throne with him, crowned with glory and honour; and having a name above every name, and all power and authority both in heaven and in earth given him, to be a Prince and a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 5:32

And we are his witnesses of these things ,.... Of the incarnation of Christ, of his crucifixion and death, of his resurrection from the dead, of his exaltation by the right hand of God, and of his offices as a Prince and a Saviour, and of the influences of his grace, in giving repentance and remission of sins to his people; and even to many of the Jews, who had been his crucifiers, and who were now converted under the ministry of the apostles: and so is also the Holy Ghost ; in his... read more
