SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:35
Y les dijo: Varones israelitas, mirad por vosotros acerca de estos hombres en lo que habis de hacer.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 5:35
Verse 35. What ye intend to do] ti mellete prassein, What ye are about to do: they had already intended to destroy them; and they were now about to do it.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 35. And said unto them, ye men of Israel , etc.] This he said after the apostles were put out, when the council was by themselves; and he addressed them as men of Israel; not as distinct from the priests and Levites in the council, but because they were all of the stock of Israel; for this council did not consist of Israelites only, as distinct from priests and Levites, as appears from ( Acts 5:21,27). A sanhedrim commonly consisted of each of these; though if only of Israelites it was a lawful one. Maimonides says f218 , they did not use to appoint any in the sanhedrim, but priests, Levites, and Israelites, that were genealogized and fit to be married into the priesthood -and that it was a command, that in the great sanhedrim there should be priests and Levites; as it is said, thou shalt go to the priests and Levites; but if they are not found, if they are all Israelites, lo, this is lawful, or a proper sanhedrim. His speech to them follows, take heed to yourselves ; consider well, do not act a rash and precipitant part; do not give way to passion and wrath, and hastily lay hands on these men, and destroy them; lest ye bring yourselves into disgrace and danger, and bring upon yourselves the ill-will and resentment of men, and the wrath of God: take time to consider of the matter, and deliberately consult what ye intend to do as touching these men ; what punishment to inflict upon them, whether imprisonment, scourging, or death; do nothing rashly.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 34-42 - The Lord still has all hearts in his hands, and sometimes directs the prudence of the worldly wise, so as to restrain the persecutors. Commo sense tells us to be cautious, while experience and observation sho that the success of frauds in matters of religion has been very short Reproach for Christ is true preferment, as it makes us conformable to his pattern, and serviceable to his interest. They rejoiced in it. I we suffer ill for doing well, provided we suffer it well, and as we should, we ought to rejoice in that grace which enabled us so to do The apostles did not preach themselves, but Christ. This was the preaching that most offended the priests. But it ought to be the constant business of gospel ministers to preach Christ: Christ, and his crucified; Christ, and him glorified; nothing beside this, but what ha reference to it. And whatever is our station or rank in life, we shoul seek to make Him known, and to glorify his name __________________________________________________________________
