SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:18
Y llamndolos, les intimaron que en ninguna manera hablasen ni enseasen en el Nombre de Jess.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 4:18
Verse 18. Not to speak-nor teach in the name of Jesus.] Any other doctrine, and any other name, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites and infidels will bear, but the doctrine which is according to godliness, proclaiming salvation through the blood of Christ crucified, they will not bear. If their doctrine were not the truth of God it could not be so unpopular; there is such an enmity in human nature against all that is good and true, that whatever comes from God is generally rejected by wicked men.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And they called them , etc.] From the apartment where they were; or ordered their servants to call them in to them: and commanded them not to speak at all ; either privately or publicly, in the ministry of the word, or in working of miracles, in the city, or in the country: nor teach in the name of Jesus ; any doctrine whatever; or the name of Jesus, as the Arabic version reads; that is, the doctrine of Jesus, that which respects his person, his carnation, his offices, his sufferings, death, and resurrection from the dead.
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.
