使徒の働き 5:19-21 JCB

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:21

Verse 21 21.And when the chief priest came. The chief priest calleth all the council together now, lest, if giving the honor to his own sect, he omit others, and be not able to bear the burden; therefore, he is enforced by fear to call the multitude together, notwithstanding they observe diligently and straitly the form of law. The elders are called who did govern, that nothing may be done but according to the sentence and authority of the council. Who would not have hoped for a moderate end,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:12-42

The advancing tide. The gospel of God's grace in Jesus Christ crucified and risen again had issued from Jerusalem at the bidding of the Lord. Would it ever stop? would it ever cease to advance? would it ever meet with obstacles sufficiently strong to turn back its current and to arrest its progress? When the flowing tide is hurrying towards the shore, some particular wave is checked by an opposing rock, and is shivered into spray before it can reach the shore. But wait a little and the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:17-26

Arrest of the apostles. I. THE TEMPER OF THE RULING POWERS 1. Zeal. It is good or evil in its effects, according to the objects to which it is directed. There is no mood of which more opposite descriptions have been and may not be with justice given. In the excitement of feeling, the fire and fervor which zeal implies, egotism may be so easily mistaken for public spirit. Our self-passions may and must mix with those of a purer kind. Resentment against injury to our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:17-29

Three things Divine. The success of the Christian cause had the effect which might have been anticipated; it aroused the intense hostility of the enemies of the Lord, and their bitter opposition found vent in a speedy arrest and imprisonment of the apostles ( Acts 5:17 , Acts 5:18 ). But man's adversity was God's opportunity, and we have:— I. DIVINE INTERPOSITION . ( Acts 5:19 .) How vain all bolts and bars to shut out those whom God would have to enter, to shut in those whom... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:17-40

A grand victory for the truth along the whole line; all the positions of the enemy taken. The few hours that were covered by this portion of the history must have been hours charged with confirmation of the faith for the apostles. It is not merely that they are again attacked and again get in the end the victory, but that every position is carried for them by some strong arm invisible. It is not altogether the force of the truth, at least of the truth as spoken and spoken by them; still... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:17-42

Second persecution of the Church. Notice: 1. It was the result of marvelous success. We must expect such opposition when God gives us power among the people. The proud and formal have no liking for that which can be set in contrast with their own inefficiency. 2. It proceeded from the sect of the Sadducees, i.e. the heretical school. The league between the high priest and the scoffers was a sad sign of religious degeneracy. So it is. When religion decays it becomes the food of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:19

An angel for the angel, A.V. ; out for forth, A.V. An angel , etc. The phrase is a translation of the Old Testament phrase הוָהֹיְ כְאַלְםַ . But in Hebrew it is impossible to insert the definite article before הוָהֹיְ , and therefore the phrase is properly rendered, "the angel of the Lord." In the passage before us and other similar passages, κύριος seems to stand for הוֹיְ , and therefore the rendering of the A.V. would seem to be right, in spite of what is said by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:19

Angel-help. Angels are constantly referred to in Holy Scripture. The angel-Jehovah, or angel of the covenant, who appeared in human form to the patriarchs as a sign and foreshadowing of the Incarnation, must be distinguished from the ordinary angelic appearances. The Old Testament conception of angels is that they were agents or executors of Divine missions to individual men or to communities. Thus we have angels visiting Sodom; angel of the pestilence; angels guarding Jacob, etc. From the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:20

Go ye for go, A.V. In the temple; not in the house, but in the courts. The words of this Life ; i.e. this life which is in Christ, whom ye preach, through his resurrection from the dead (comp. John 6:68 , "Thou hast the words of eternal life;" see too the whole chapter and 1 John 1:1-3 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:20

The Church's mission to the world. "Go, stand and speak," etc. Acts of apostles the model for acts of God's people always. Lessons on relation of the Church and the world. Gospel began to lay hold of the masses. Envy and hatred of the Sadducean party, because a religion which lifted up the people, they thought, would lower the wealthy and ease-loving. We must expect social difficulties as the kingdom of righteousness spreads, but the angel's message is the rule of all times; while... read more
