SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:15
¶ Mas les mandaron que se saliesen fuera del concilio; y conferían entre sí,
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. But when they had commanded them , etc.] That is, when the sanhedrim had ordered the apostles; or commanded that both, as the Arabic version reads, both Peter and John; and, it may be, the man that was healed too: to go aside out of the council ; or place where the council, or sanhedrim sat; which, whether it was in the chamber Gazith, in the temple where they used to sit f174 , or in the shops, or in the city, whither they removed, is not certain. We are told f175 , that the sanhedrim removed from the chamber Gazith, to the shops, and from the shops to Jerusalem, and from Jerusalem to Jabneh; that is, after the destruction of the city. And the first remove was much about this time; for it is said f176 , that forty years before the destruction of the temple, the sanhedrim removed, and sat in the shops. Not in the shops where things were sold for the use of the temple, but in a court adjoining to them, which took its name from them. They conferred among themselves ; what was proper to be done, the apostles being withdrawn.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-22 - All the care of the rulers is, that the doctrine of Christ spread not among the people, yet they cannot say it is false or dangerous, or of any ill tendency; and they are ashamed to own the true reason; that is testifies against their hypocrisy, wickedness, and tyranny. Those wh know how to put a just value upon Christ's promises, know how to pu just contempt upon the world's threatenings. The apostles look with concern on perishing souls, and know they cannot escape eternal rui but by Jesus Christ, therefore they are faithful in warning, an showing the right way. None will enjoy peace of mind, nor ac uprightly, till they have learned to guide their conduct by the fixe standard of truth, and not by the shifting opinions and fancies of men Especially beware of a vain attempt to serve two masters, God and the world; the end will be, you can serve neither fully.
