The Biblical Illustrator - Acts 5:21-26

Acts 5:21-26And when they heard that they entered into the temple … But the high priest … called the council together.The characteristics of opposition to the truthThe contrast is very graphic. The apostles in public disseminating the truth: the Jewish authorities at the same moment plotting in private for its suppression. The conference suggests at once the characteristics which mark opposition to the truth, and the motives by which the opponents are actuated. Sometimes, in a given conflict,... read more

Acts 5:27-29And when they had brought them, they set them before the council.The accusation this time is simply that the apostles had not complied with the former judgment--they were guilty of contempt of court. They had not, however, broken their parole, for they had given none, having declared that they would continue to preach in the name of Jesus. And now the judges are thinking not of truth and justice, but simply of their own safety (Acts 5:28). They believed that the apostles were... read more

Acts 5:29We ought to obey God rather than man.OughtThe word “ought” is but an old past form of the verb “owe”; it is, in fact, but another spelling of “owed.” What, therefore, we ought to do, we owed to do; what we ought to be, are owed to be. To God we owe our lives; we ought to pay Him with our lives. What we owe to our fellow-man, is that which we owe it to God to do for an honoured creature of God. We ought to do it because we owe to do it. And yet we go on saying we ought to do and we... read more

Acts 5:31Him hath God exalted with His right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.The end of the Saviour’s exaltationElevation is necessary to influence. Of what advantage is a candle under a bushel? While the sun is below our earth, all is dark and cold; but when he rises, he scatters his enlightening and enlivening beams. When the shrub rises up out of the ground, it requires support; but when it becomes a tree, the birds lodge in its... read more

Acts 5:32And we are witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Ghost.The witness of the Word and of the SpiritThe book of Acts is one continuous testimony to the Ascension. As the Gospels contain the record of what Jesus began, so the Acts contain the record of what He continued “to do and teach” (Acts 1:1). Our Lord prolongs His days, and some of the earliest of the new “days of the Son of Man” are recorded here. This word of St. Peter sums up the witness to the Ascension in a more... read more

Acts 5:33-42When they heard that they were cut to the heart.Cut to the heartThe strict meaning of the verb describes the action of a saw, as in Hebrews 11:37. Used figuratively, it seems to imply a more lacerating pain than the “pricked to the heart” of Acts 2:37, leading not to repentance but to hatred. The persons spoken of are principally the high priest and his Sadducean followers (Acts 2:17). (Dean Plumptre.)Preaching to the heartWhat would be thought of a doctor who, when called in to a... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 5:16

16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. Ver. 16. And they were healed every one ] Christ is Jehovah the Physician, Exodus 15:26 . He hath a most happy hand, and was never foiled by any disease, Psalms 103:3 . Omnipotenti medico nullus insanabilis occurris morbus; to an Almighty Physician no disease can be incurable. (Isidore.) read more

17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation, Ver. 17. With indignation ] Gr. With zeal: but it was that bitter zeal, James 3:14 , that grows not but in Satan’s gardens. read more

18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. Ver. 18. Put them in the common prison ] Bocardo (when the good bishops were there in Queen Mary’s days) was called a college of quondams (has beens): and almost all other prisons in England were become right Christian schools and Churches, saith Mr Fox. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 5:19

19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said, Ver. 19. But the angel of the Lord ] There was one Laremoth, chaplain to the Lady Anne of Cleves, a Scotchman, to whom, being in prison in Queen Mary’s days, it was said, as he thought, once, twice, thrice, Arise, and go thy ways. Whereupon he arising from prayer, a piece of the prison wall fell down, and he escaped beyond sea. read more
