26 Então chegando-se Nabucodonozor � porta da fornalha de fogo ardente, falou, dizendo: Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, servos do Deus Altíssimo, saí e vinde! Logo Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego saíram do meio do fogo.

Daniel 3:26 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:26

Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning
fiery furnace
He came so nigh before, as to see at a distance four persons walking in it; now he comes nearer, as near as he could with safety: and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of
the most high God;
he not only spake to them in a different tone than he did before; not in wrath and fury, but mildly and gently, with great respect unto them, and reverence of them; and not only calls them by the names he and his courtiers had given them, but styles them the servants of the most high God; he owns their God was a God above his: the Chaldeans worshipped fire, but the God of the Jews had power over that, and could restrain the force of it at pleasure; and he acknowledges that these men were faithful worshippers of him; who had in this wonderful manner appeared for them, and thereby approved their faith and confidence in him, and their service of him; see ( Acts 16:17 ) : come forth, and come hither;
that is, come out of the furnace, and come to the place where I and my nobles are: then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the
fire;
as they had been cast into it by the king's order, therefore they did not presume to go out of it without the same; nor were they concerned about coming out; they had very agreeable and delightful company, and had reason to say it was good for them to be there; however, when they had the king's order, they immediately obeyed it.

Daniel 3:26 In-Context

24 Então o rei Nabucodonozor se espantou, e se levantou depressa; falou, e disse aos seus conselheiros: Não lançamos nós dentro do fogo três homens atados? Responderam ao rei: É verdade, ó rei.

25 Disse ele: Eu, porém, vejo quatro homens soltos, que andam passeando dentro do fogo, e nenhum dano sofrem; e o aspacto do quarto é semelhante a um filho dos deuses.

26 Então chegando-se Nabucodonozor � porta da fornalha de fogo ardente, falou, dizendo: Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, servos do Deus Altíssimo, saí e vinde! Logo Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego saíram do meio do fogo.

27 E os sátrapas, os prefeitos, os governadores, e os conselheiros do rei, estando reunidos, viram que o fogo não tinha tido poder algum sobre os corpos destes homens, nem foram chamuscados os cabelos da sua cabeça, nem sofreram mudança os seus mantos, nem sobre eles tinha passado o cheiro de fogo.

28 Falou Nabucodonozor, e disse: Bendito seja o Deus de Sadraque, Mesaque e Abednego, o qual enviou o seu anjo e livrou os seus servos, que confiaram nele e frustraram a ordem do rei, escolhendo antes entregar os seus corpos, do que servir ou adorar a deus algum, senão o seu Deus.
