Hechos 5:1-21 RVA

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:13

‘But of the rest no man dared join himself to them: but however that might be the people magnified them.’ ‘The rest’ probably means those who did not require healing, and were not recognised believers. They were in awe because of what had happened and held back from approaching the Apostles. They did not ‘cement themselves to them’. There may have been a number of reasons for this: · They may have heard rumours and feared what the authorities were planning to do. · Instructions might have been... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:14-15

‘And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women, insomuch that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.’ And the result was that more and more believers were ‘added to the Lord’. They came under His Kingly Rule. The phrase is a beautifully expressive one (also used in Acts 11:24). They were added to Him and united with Him by faith as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:16

‘And there also came together the multitudes from the cities round about Jerusalem, bringing sick folk, and those who were vexed with unclean spirits, and they were healed every one.’ And people thronged into Jerusalem from cities round about, bringing their sick, and bringing those who were possessed by evil spirits, ‘and they were healed every one’. No wonder Jerusalem was stirred. No wonder that the authorities, who could not accept what they were teaching, were appalled. It was as though... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:17-18

‘But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy, and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public ward.’ Once again it was the Sadducees as a party, led by the High Priest, who initiated the action, for much of the activity was still taking place in the Temple courtyards. They were ‘filled with jealousy’. Note the contrast with ‘filled with the Holy Spirit’ (and earlier ‘filled by Satan’). These were... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:17-24

The Second Arrest. The Kingly Rule of God Is Revealed By The Opening of Prison Doors (5:17-24). In view of the fact that the Apostles were openly defying the stricture of the previous council, and were doing so with such obvious success, it could only be riling to the authorities, unless they were going to accept the evidence (which they did not deny) and believe in Jesus. Thus we cannot be surprised that the council acted once again. It may be questioned why they had waited so long. The... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:19-20

‘But an angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said, “Go all of you, and take your stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this Life.” ’ But that night the angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and commanded them to go into the Temple and defiantly ‘take their stand’ (aorist passive participle) and proclaim ‘the words of this life’ i.e. the ‘life’ connected with the resurrection, the eternal life that they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:21

‘And when they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and were teaching (or ‘began to teach’). But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and the whole board (senate) of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought.’ Obedient to God’s word the Apostles went without hesitation (‘at daybreak’) to the Temple and taught. Meanwhile the High Priest and his cronies in all ignorance of what had happened called... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:1-11

Acts 5:1-1 Kings : . Ananias and Sapphira.— Barnabas’ unworthy counterpart is Ananias, who, in league with his wife, was unwilling to part with all his property, but anxious to appear to have done so. Their crime was that they tried to deceive the Church and God by keeping back part of what was dedicated and belonged to God, and so insulting and wronging the Church. Peter feels the attack as directed against the Spirit, therefore a monstrous one which could only proceed from Satan, the first... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:12-16

Acts 5:12-Nehemiah : . Apostolic Signs and Cures.— In the AV Acts 5:12 b – Acts 5:14 are rightly bracketed; the verses are an editorial addition. Acts 5:12 a connects with Acts 5:15. In Acts 2:43 we read that many wonders and signs were wrought by the apostles, but only two have been placed before us in detail. The statement is here repeated and introduces a picture of the healing activity, especially of Peter, touches in which remind us of the Gospels ( Mark 2:1-Numbers :; Mark 6:54-Titus... read more

Acts 5:17-Luke : . A Hostile Encounter with the Jewish Authorities.— This account closely resembles that in ch. 4 ; the imprisonment is at the hands of the same men, extends over one night, and Peter’ s two declarations ( Acts 4:19, Acts 5:29) are very similar. In spite of a few added touches, Gamaliel and his historical reminiscences, we cannot but feel the paucity of materials that were at the author’ s disposal for this part of his history. As in Acts 4, the attack comes from the... read more
