King James Bible - Acts 5:21

World English Bible

Douay-Rheims - Acts 5:21

Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council, and all the ancients of the children of Israel; and they sent to the prison to have them brought.

Webster's Bible Translation

And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

VERSE (21) - :25 Lu 21:37,38 Joh 8:2

SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:21

Y cuando hubieron oído esto, entraron de maana en el Templo, y enseaban. Entre tanto, viniendo el príncipe de los sacerdotes, y los que estaban con l, convocaron el concilio, y a todos los ancianos de los hijos de Israel, y enviaron a la crcel para que fuesen traídos.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 5:21

Verse 21. Called the council together] sunedrion The sanhedrin, all the senate; thn gerousian, the elders, or what we would call the aldermen. How these differed from the presbuterion, presbytery, if they did differ, is not now known.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 21. And when they heard that , etc.] Or his word, as the Arabic version supplies; that is, the word of the angel, the orders enjoined them by him, to go to the temple, and there preach the Gospel; this clause is left out in the Syriac version: they entered into the temple early in the morning ; they were obedient to the command of the angel, believing him to be a messenger of God, who declared his will, which they readily complied with, and were indeed eager of doing it; and therefore early in the morning, as soon as ever the temple doors were opened, and there were any people got together, they went in: and taught ; as the Ethiopic version adds, the people, this word of life; the doctrine or doctrines of the Gospel which the angel had bid them teach: but the high priest came, and they that were with him : as before, to the place where the sanhedrim used to meet; either the chamber Gazith, or the shops, or some other place in Jerusalem; (See Gill on Acts 4:15). and called the council together ; the sanhedrim, consisting of seventy one, which usually met at the time of the morning daily sacrifice; perhaps on this occasion they might be called together sooner, and everyone of them summoned to attend; for otherwise it was not necessary that every particular member should be present, but when there was any business of importance which required it, they were all gathered together f205 : and all the senate of the children of Israel ; or the elders, as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Arabic versions read, the rest of the elders of the city, besides those of the great sanhedrim. Dr. Lightfoot thinks, that the two other sanhedrim, or courts of judicature in Jerusalem, which consisted of twenty three persons apiece, are designed; and who, as he rightly observes from Maimonides f206 , sat the one in the gate of the court, the other in the gate of the mountain of the house; so that all the courts in Jerusalem were called together at this time; and if they all met, they made up a hundred and seventeen men: and sent to the prison to have them brought ; that is, the apostles, as the Syriac version reads. The sense is, that the high priest, and those that were with him at the same time that they convened all the courts of judicature in Jerusalem together, sent their officers to the prison, to fetch the apostles; or else the sanhedrim, and senate of Israel being met, they ordered their officers to go to the common jail, and bring the apostles before them, to be examined, tried, and judged by them.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 17-25 - There is no prison so dark, so strong, but God can visit his people i it, and, if he pleases, fetch them out. Recoveries from sickness releases out of trouble, are granted, not that we may enjoy the comforts of life, but that God may be honoured with the services of ou life. It is not for the preachers of Christ's gospel to retire int corners, as long as they can have any opportunity of preaching in the great congregation. They must preach to the lowest, whose souls are a precious to Christ as the souls of the greatest. Speak to all, for all are concerned. Speak as those who resolve to stand to it, to live an die by it. Speak all the words of this heavenly, divine life, i comparison with which the present earthly life does not deserve the name. These words of life, which the Holy Ghost puts into your mouth The words of the gospel are the words of life; words whereby we may be saved. How wretched are those who are vexed at the success of the gospel! They cannot but see that the word and power of the Lord ar against them; and they tremble for the consequences, yet they will go on.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

21. Early in the morning (upo ton orqron). 'Upo, beneath, is often used in the sense of just about, or near. Orqron is from ornumi, to cause to arise: the dawn. See on Luke xxiv. 1. Render as Rev., about daybreak.

Taught (edidaskon). Imperfect: began teaching.

The council (sunedrion). The Sanhedrim.

The senate (gerousian). From gerwn, an old man, like the Latin senatus, from senex, old. Taking on very early an official sense, the notion of age being merged in that of dignity. Thus in Homer gerontev are the chiefs who form the king's council. Compare the Latin patres, fathers, the title used in addressing the Roman senate. The word in this passage is the name of the Spartan assembly, Gerousia, the assembly of elders, consisting of thirty members, with the two kings. "The well-known term," as Meyer remarks, "is fittingly transferred from the college of the Greek gerontes to that of the Jewish presbyters." They summoned, not only those elders of the people who were likewise members of the Sanhedrim, but the whole council (all the senate) of the representatives of the people. Prison (desmwthrion). Still another word for prison. Compare vv. 18, 19. Rev., prison-house. The different words emphasize different aspects of confinement. Thrhsiv is keeping, as the result of guarding. See on ver. 18. Fulakh emphasizes the being put under guard, and desmwthrion the being put in bonds.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

5:21 {About daybreak} (hupo ton orqron). From ornumi, to stir up, to arouse, so the dawn (#Lu 24:1; Joh 8:2). Old word, but in the N.T. only these three passages. "Under the dawn" or "about dawn." _Sub lucem_. The temple doors would be open for early worshippers and traffickers (#Joh 2:14). {Taught} (edidaskon). Imperfect active, began to teach. {The council} (to sunedrion). The Sanhedrin. {The senate} (ten gerousian). From gerwn, an old man, just as the Latin _senatus_ is from _senex_, old. Like the gerontes in Homer and the Elder Statesmen in Japan. Apparently the senate of the people were also part of the Sanhedrin and the use of "and" (kai) is explanatory and adds this item in particular. Page thinks that this group of elders were not members of the Sanhedrin at all. {To the prison house} (eis to desmwterion), another word for prison (teresis demosia in verse #18, he fulake in verse #19). See also verses #22,23,25. this from desmos, bond, and terew, to keep, place where bound men are kept.
