The Biblical Illustrator - Acts 5:19-20

Acts 5:19-20But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors.Miraculous interpositionObserve--I. That human authority is powerless to oppose the will of God. The king on his throne, the judge on the bench, the soldier in his rank, etc., can only claim Divine protection when they discharge the functions of their office on the ground of truth, honour, and justice. Nowhere is obedience to true authority more emphatically enforced than in the Word of God; but nowhere is human authority,... read more

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

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 5:1

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, Ver. 1. With Sapphira his wife ] Her name signifieth beautiful, or spacious. She might be so on the outside, as those apples of Sodom, the Egyptian temples, or Jewish sepulchres; but her heart was rotten, and not right with God. Hypocrites are called vipers, Matthew 3:7 , which are outwardly specious, inwardly poisonous. The swan is white in feathers but of a black skin; and was therefore reputed unclean, and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 5:2

2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it , and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. Ver. 2. And kept back part ] Interverted, ενοσφισατο , purloined, nimmed it away. Here was a concurrence of hypocrisy, sacrilege, diffidence, and ambition; for he would be thought as good as the best, and therefore laid that he brought at the apostles’ feet, &c. Hypocrites shall be uncased; no goat in a sheepskin shall steal on Christ’s right hand at the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 5:3

3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Ver. 3. Why hath Satan ] The first motion of selling his possession was of the Holy Ghost; but Beelzebub had soon putrified and corrupted it. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 5:4

4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. Ver. 4. Was it not thine own ] Wicked men have a right to earthly things as their portion, Psalms 17:14 . God gave Tyre to Nebuchadnezzar. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 5:5

5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. Ver. 5. Fell down, and gave up ] So did Nightingal, parson of Crondal by Canterbury; who, on a Shrove Sunday, reading to the people the pope’s bull of pardon sent into England by Cardinal Pool, fell suddenly down dead out of the pulpit, and never stirred hand nor foot: witnessed by all the country round about. Philbert Hamlin, martyr, had instructed in the truth a... read more

6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him . Ver. 6. And the young men arose ] Decent burial this hypocrite had, though he deserved it not. Temporaries enjoy many outward privileges per consortium through prossessions. read more

7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. Ver. 7.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Acts 5:8

8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Ver. 8. Yea, for so much ] Sin had woaded an impudence in her face. How much better that brave woman in St Jerome, who being upon the rack said, Non ideo negare volo, ne peream; sed ideo mentiri nolo, ne peccem, I will rather die than lie. read more
