Atos 5:27 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 5:27

And when they had brought them
From the temple, to the place where the sanhedrim sat, which, by this, seems to have been not in the room Gazith, nor in the shops, which were both in the temple, but in some part of the city of Jerusalem:

they set them before the council;
whereby was fulfilled what Christ had foretold, ( Matthew 10:17 ) "they will deliver you up to the councils"; they placed them before the whole sanhedrim; in the midst of it, (See Gill on Acts 4:7); and as the Ethiopic version here reads:

and the high priest asked them;
though he was not president of the council, but Gamaliel, after mentioned; yet being in so high an office, and a principal member of the council, took upon him the examination of the apostles.

Atos 5:27 In-Context

25 Então chegou alguém e lhes anunciou: Eis que os homens que encerrastes na prisão estão no templo, em pé, a ensinar o povo.

26 Nisso foi o capitão com os guardas e os trouxe, não com violência, porque temiam ser apedrejados pelo povo.

27 E tendo-os trazido, os apresentaram ao sinédrio. E o sumo sacerdote os interrogou, dizendo:

28 Não vos admoestamos expressamente que não ensinásseis nesse nome? e eis que enchestes Jerusalém dessa vossa doutrina e quereis lançar sobre nós o sangue desse homem.

29 Respondendo Pedro e os apóstolos, disseram: Importa antes obedecer a Deus que aos homens.
