SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:13

Y de los otros, ninguno osaba juntarse con ellos; con todo eso el pueblo los alababa grandemente.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 5:13

Verse 13. And of the
rest, durst no man join him self to them] Who were these called the rest, twn loipwn? Dr. Lightfoot thinks the 120 are intended, of which he supposes Ananias to have been one; who, all seeing such wonders wrought by the apostles, were afraid to associate themselves with them in any way of equality, as they saw that God put peculiar honour upon them. Calmet more rationally observes, that the Jewish nation was then divided into many different sects, who entertained widely different opinions on various articles. The apostles adopted none of these jarring sentiments, and none of the different sects dared to join themselves to them; neither Pharisees, Sadducees, nor Herodians, as such, were found in this simple, holy Church. The people felt the force and power of the apostles' doctrine, and magnified them, no more attending to the teaching of the others: the apostles taught them as men having authority, and not as the scribes and Pharisees. This irritated the high priest and his Sadducean council, and led them to adopt the measures mentioned below, ver. 17.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. And of the
rest durst no man join himself to them , etc.] By the rest are meant, either those that were without the church, and those either the profane and persecuting sort, who durst not come nigh the apostles to touch them, or say one word to them, for fear of being struck dead; and so the Ethiopic version renders it, “and then there was no more any man that durst restrain them”, or go about to hinder them from preaching: or the better sort, such who attended on the word, and were either real believers or hypocrites, who durst not, one nor the other, join themselves to them, because of what happened to Ananias and Sapphira; which not only deterred hypocrites from coming into the church, but also kept off such who were really converted persons; but this sense seems to be contradicted in the following verse. Rather therefore by them are meant those within the church, and not only the private members of it, but the ministers of the word, of which number Ananias might have been; these, the rest of them, durst not come nigh the apostles, or familiarly converse with them, much less put themselves upon an equal foot with them, but with great reverence of them kept their distance from them: but the people magnified them ; both the ministers of the word, as Barnabas and others, who showed such a respect to the apostles, they having extraordinary gifts, and extraordinary things also being done by them, and especially the twelve apostles; these the people in general spoke well of, praised and cried up as marvellous men, because of what was done by them.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12-16 - The separation of
hypocrites by distinguishing judgments, should make the sincere cleave closer to each other and to the gospel ministry Whatever tends to the purity and reputation of the church, promotes it enlargement; but that power alone which wrought such miracles by the apostles, can rescue sinners from the power of sin and Satan, and ad believers to His worshippers. Christ will work by all his faithfu servants; and every one who applies to him shall be healed.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

13. The
rest. Unbelievers, deterred by the fate of Ananias from uniting themselves to the church under false pretenses.

Join himself (kollasqai). See on Luke xv. 15; x. 11. In all but two instances (Rom. xii. 9; 1 Cor. vi. 17), the word implies a forced, unnatural, or unexpected union. Thus Philip would not, without a special command, have "joined himself" to the chariot of the Ethiopian prince (Acts viii. 29). Saul's attempt to join himself to the apostles was regarded by them with suspicion (Acts ix. 26); and the fact that certain persons "clave to" Paul in Athens is expressly contrasted with the attitude of the citizens at large. The sense of an unnatural union comes out clearly in 1 Corinthians vi. 16.


Robertson's NT Word Studies

5:13 {Durst} (etolma). Imperfect active of tolmaw, old verb, not to fear or shun through fear, boldly to take a stand. The fate of Ananias and Sapphira continued to hold many in check. {Join} (kollasqai). Present middle infinitive of kollaw, old verb to cleave to like glue as in #Lu 15:15 which see. Seven times in Acts (#9:26; 10:28; 17:34). The outsiders (the rest) preferred, many of them, to remain outside for the present, especially the rulers. {However the people} (all'--ho laos). Probably individuals among the people, the populace as distinct from the rulers and hostile outsiders.
