Actes 5:33 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 5:33

When they heard that
This defence of the apostles, in which they still insisted upon it, that they had been the crucifiers of Christ, and yet that he was raised from the dead, and exalted in heaven, and was a spiritual Saviour of men:

they were cut; to the heart,
as if they had been cut asunder with a saw; the Ethiopic version renders it, "they were angry", and "gnashed with their teeth", as if a saw was drawn to and fro; they were filled with rage and madness:

and took counsel to slay them;
not in a legal and judicial way, but in a private manner, or by force; stirring up the zealots to rise up against them, and dispatch them at once, as blasphemers and heretics.

Actes 5:33 In-Context

31 Dieu l'a élevé à sa droite, comme le Prince et Sauveur, afin de donner à Israël la repentance et la rémission des péchés.

32 Et nous lui sommes témoins de ces choses, aussi bien que le Saint-Esprit, que Dieu a donné à ceux qui lui obéissent.

33 Eux entendant cela, grinçaient des dents, et ils délibéraient de les faire mourir.

34 Mais un Pharisien, nommé Gamaliel, docteur de la loi, honoré de tout le peuple, se levant dans le Sanhédrin, commanda qu'on fît retirer les apôtres pour un peu de temps.

35 Et il leur dit: Hommes Israélites, prenez garde à ce que vous avez à faire à l'égard de ces gens.
