Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:17

17. High priest Caiaphas, the same who arraigned the Saviour a few short months ago. Well might the apostles say to such men, (Acts 5:30,) Jesus, whom ye slew. Rose up As if he could sit and see the bold proceedings of the apostles no longer. With him… Sadducees Whether Caiaphas was a Sadducee or not is not very clear; but that the Sadducees were in the present case his instigators is certain, and for reasons detailed in our notes on Acts 4:1. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:17-42

V. PENTECOSTAL CHURCH IN SECOND AND SEVERER PERSECUTION AND RESULTS, 17-42. 1. Imprisonment of Apostles and Arraignment, Acts 5:17-32 . As our history grows, larger events open on us. In the first persecution (Acts 3:1 to Acts 4:22,) two apostles were arrested, and the Sanhedrin from fear or the people had dismissed them with a requirement of silence, which the apostles faithfully promised to disobey. So far from silence, the apostles persisted in miracles and preaching; and after the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:19

19. The angel An angel, rather. (See note introductory to Acts 3:1.) Thrice does an angelic interposition occur in the first half of Acts. Renan, admitting the authenticity of the last half makes this supernaturalism the ground of questioning that of the first half. But, 1. Our very plan of the book, p. 12, shows the symmetry and oneness of the whole. 2. We have shown reason for supposing that Luke was present and witness of the scenes of this first half. 3. During this half the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:20

20. Go A new commission from God assuring them that a higher power than high priests and Sanhedrins was on their side. Stand A sublime word for these apostles occupying the post of danger for the salvation of the world. In the temple In the very citadel of the persecution, at the very spot of their arrest, on the very pedestal of their former address to the nation of old Israel. This life Such a life as the world never knew before. So in Acts 13:26, word of this salvation; and Romans... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:21

21. Early in the morning Literally, at daybreak. (See note on Luke 21:38.) High priest came Came not to the temple, but to Gazith, the hall of the Sanhedrin at the southwest corner of the Court of Israel. With him Probably the parties named in Acts 4:6. The council The Sanhedrin. Senate The Greek word for senate here used is γερουσια , (derived from γερων , an old man, as the Latin word senatus is derived from a word of the same meaning, senex,) and is equivalent etymologically... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:23

23. Shut with all safety The supernatural agent had not only opened the prison doors and sent the apostle from prison to temple, but had again closed the prison, and all so quietly that the keepers tranquilly supposed that the prisoners were still in custody. read more

24. Captain of the temple The Jewish commandant over the Jewish police guard who kept order on the temple grounds. Chief priests The heads of the priestly courses and priests who were relatives of the high priest. Whereunto this would grow Literally, what it might become. The matter had already assumed a very supernatural shape; these men were reputed as possessing miraculous powers; and truly, if prison doors could not hold them how was it possible to manage their case? read more

25. Came one and told them This high court is ridiculously relieved of its perplexity as to the whereabouts of their prisoners by a chance messenger, who declares that they are standing in the temple repeating the offence for which they were imprisoned. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:26

26. Without violence… feared the people The officers find the apostles apparently in the midst of high discourse, with the people so strongly on their side that they doubtless courteously invite them to wait on the high priest at the Sanhedrin office. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:28

28. Saying The high priest institutes not first inquiry into miracle, though that may afterward come up. He takes high ground upon charge of disobedience to the sacred magistracy. And here the sceptic asks, How did this court dare attempt to arraign men of miraculous powers? Could not beings who had set dungeon bars and bolts at naught bring down the roof of the council house upon their heads? And how happens it that not the slightest reference is made to the wonderful miracle by which... read more
