John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 5:32

Verse 32 32.And we are his witnesses. After that they have declared that their doctrine came from God, they descend now unto the other part that they speak as they were commanded by God, lest they seem to attempt anything unadvisedly. For this also was a necessary defense, as it is for all the ministers of the gospel, to wit, that they make this openly known to all men that they teach nothing but that which they have received of God. Secondly, that they are called hereunto, so that they cannot... 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 5:17-40

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

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 5:30

Hanging him for and hanged, A.V. The God of our fathers , etc. Observe how carefully Peter preserves his own brotherhood with the Jews whom he was addressing, and the continuity of the New Testament with the Old Testament as being the sequel of the acts of the same God of Israel. Raised up ; viz. from the dead; ἤγειρε , not ἀνίστη , as Acts 3:22 , Acts 3:26 . Some, however (Calvin, Bengel, etc.), take ἤγειρε , as here used, to mean "raised up" in the wider sense of ... read more

The cross and the crown. In this address which Peter delivered to the Sanhedrim we have another epitome of the gospel. I. THE LOWEST DEPTH OF EARTHLY SHAME . "Whom ye slew and hanged on a tree" ( Acts 5:30 ). The Son of God was "made a little lower than the angels," even a Son of man, "for the suffering of death" ( Hebrews 2:9 ). He stooped to the level of our humanity, in order that he might "taste death for every man." And he underwent that experience in its most... read more

Did God exalt for hath God exalted, A.V.; remission for forgiveness, A.V. With his right hand ; i.e. by his mighty power, as the instrument of Christ's exaltation. A Prince ( Acts 3:15 , note). Repentance first, "a new heart and a new spirit" ( Ezekiel 36:26 ), and forgiveness next (comp. Acts 2:38 ; Acts 3:19 , etc.). read more

The throne of mercy. "Him hath God exalted, " etc. The Jewish temple a material symbol of the Divine method of grace. The chief chamber was the place of God's glory—the inner, nest presence-chamber of the great King; its chief feature, the mercy-seat, a proclamation of love to all. Yet access to the blessedness only by the appointed way, through the consecrated rites and persons; thus the will and righteousness of God sustained at the same time as his mercy. Compare heathen ideas of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 5:31

The present royalty and rights of Jesus. It is interesting to notice how the Jewish conception of Messiah, as a conquering King of the house of David, gave form and tone to the earlier ideas which the apostles had of their risen and ascended Savior. He proved, indeed, to be a King in quite another sense than that in which they had regarded him, and at first they felt much disappointment in the crushing of their national hopes; but still they knew that he was a King, they gradually gained... read more

Witnesses for his witnesses, A.V. and T.R.; so is the Holy Ghost for so is also the Holy Ghost, A.V. and T.R. We are witnesses. The direct reference is to the command recorded in Acts 1:8 , which they felt imperatively bound to obey. So is the Holy Ghost . The Holy Ghost bare witness to the gospel preached by the apostles by the powers which he gave them to heal and work miracles, and by the conversion of many who heard the word: "the gospel preached with the Holy Ghost sent down... read more
