VERSE (29) - Ac 4:19 Ge 3:17 1Sa 15:24 Mr 7:7-9 Re 14:8-12

SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:29

Y respondiendo Pedro y los apstoles, dijeron: Es necesario obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 5:29

Verse 29. We ought to obey God rather than men.] The same answer they gave before, chap. iv. 19, founded on the same reason, which still stood good. We have received our commission from GOD; we dare not lay it down at the desire or command of men. See the note on chap. iv. 19.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 29. Then Peter, and the other apostles, answered and said , etc.] Peter began, as the mouth of the apostles, being the eldest man, and very bold and zealous; and the rest followed, or joined, with him in what he said: we ought to obey God rather than men ; this is said in answer to the charge of disobedience to the orders and commands of the council: men, civil magistrates, and ecclesiastical rulers, are to be obeyed in things which are not repugnant to the will of God; but in things that are, God is to be obeyed, and not men. God had commanded by an angel, that the apostles should go to the temple, and there preach the doctrines of the Gospel; the sanhedrim had forbid them to speak and teach in the name of Christ; who were now to be obeyed? God, and not men: from whence it appears that the apostles were to be justified in disregarding the council, and neglecting its orders; and which is no ways contrary to that obedience and submission, that is to be yielded to those that are in authority, in things civil and lawful.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 26-33 - Many will do an evil thing with daring, yet cannot bear to hear of i afterward, or to have it charged upon them. We cannot expect to be redeemed and healed by Christ, unless we give up ourselves to be rule by him. Faith takes the Saviour in all his offices, who came, not to save us in our sins, but to save us from our sins. Had Christ bee exalted to give dominion to Israel, the chief priests would have welcomed him. But repentance and remission of sins are blessings the neither valued nor saw their need of; therefore they, by no means admitted his doctrine. Wherever repentance is wrought, remission i granted without fail. None are freed from the guilt and punishment of sin, but those who are freed from the power and dominion of sin; wh are turned from it, and turned against it. Christ gives repentance, by his Spirit working with the word, to awaken the conscience, to wor sorrow for sin, and an effectual change in the heart and life. The giving of the Holy Ghost, is plain evidence that it is the will of God that Christ should be obeyed. And He will surely destroy those who wil not have Him to reign over them.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

29. We ought (dei). Stronger, we must.

To obey (peiqarcein). Not often used in the New Testament to express obedience, the most common word being uJpakouw. Sometimes peiqw is used. But this word, in itself, is the only one of the several in use which expresses the conception of obedience exclusively. 'Upakouein is to obey as the result of listening to another: peiqesqai is to obey as the result of persuasion. This is the special term for the obedience which one owes to authority (arch). It occurs four times in the New Testament: Acts v. 29, 32; xxvii. 21; Tit. iii. 1; and in every case, of obedience to established authority, either of God or of magistrates. In Acts xxvii. 21, where it is used of the ship's officers hearkening to Paul's admonition not to loose from Crete, Paul speaks of his admonition as divinely inspired; compare xxvii. 10. In ch. iv. 19, Peter and John say hearken (akouein). That is a mere listening to or considering the proposition made to them. This is a deliberate course of action.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

5:29 {We must} (dei). Moral necessity left them no choice. They stood precisely where Peter and John were when before the Sanhedrin before (#Ac 4:20). {Obey} (peiqarcein). Old verb from peiqomai and arce, to obey a ruler. Only by Luke and Paul in the N.T.
