In Jewish culture, the day begins at sunrise, and this early start reflects their dedication to spreading the Gospel. It also symbolizes the light of Christ breaking into the darkness, a theme consistent with the New Testament portrayal of Jesus as the "light of the world" (<a href="/john/8-12.htm">John 8:12</a>).the apostles entered the temple courts The temple courts were a central place for teaching and worship in Jerusalem. The apostles' choice to teach here highlights their boldness and the public nature of their ministry. The temple was the heart of Jewish religious life, making it a strategic location for reaching a large audience. This act also fulfills Jesus' command to be His witnesses in Jerusalem (<a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a>).as they had been told This phrase indicates obedience to divine instruction. Earlier in <a href="/acts/5.htm">Acts 5</a>, an angel of the Lord had freed the apostles from prison and instructed them to "Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people all about this new life" (<a href="/acts/5-20.htm">Acts 5:20</a>). Their compliance demonstrates their faith and trust in God's plan.and began to teach the people Teaching was a primary method of spreading the Gospel in the early church. The apostles' teaching would have included the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, fulfilling the Great Commission (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>). This teaching was not just informational but transformational, calling people to repentance and faith in Christ.When the high priest and his associates arrived The high priest and his associates represent the religious authority of the time. Their arrival signifies the tension between the new Christian movement and the established Jewish leadership. The high priest, likely Caiaphas at this time, was a key figure in the opposition to Jesus and His followers.they convened the Sanhedrin The Sanhedrin was the highest Jewish council and court, consisting of 71 members, including the high priest, elders, and scribes. It held significant religious and political power. The convening of the Sanhedrin indicates the seriousness with which the Jewish leaders viewed the apostles' activities.the full assembly of the elders of Israel This phrase emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the gathering, involving all the influential leaders of the Jewish community. It underscores the gravity of the situation and the perceived threat the apostles posed to the religious status quo.and sent to the jail for the apostles The apostles had been imprisoned for preaching about Jesus, reflecting the growing persecution of the early church. The Sanhedrin's decision to send for them highlights the legal and religious challenges the apostles faced.

But the high priest, etc. The narrative would run more clearly if the passage were translated more literally, Now when the high priest and they that were with him were come (to the council-chamber the next day) they called together, etc. The narrative is taken up from vers. 17, 18. Having (ver. 18) put the apostles in prison, they met the next morning to decide how to punish them. The council (τὸ συνέδριον); i.e. in the Hebraeo-Greek, the Sanhedrim, the great council of the nation, consisting of seventy-two members, usually presided over by the high priest. It is frequently mentioned in the New Testament (<a href="/matthew/5-22.htm">Matthew 5:22</a>; <a href="/matthew/26-59.htm">Matthew 26:59</a>; <a href="/mark/14-55.htm">Mark 14:55</a>, etc.; and <a href="/acts/22-30.htm">Acts 22:30</a>; <a href="/acts/23-1.htm">Acts 23:1</a>, etc.; above <a href="/acts/4-15.htm">Acts 4:15</a>). On the present occasion, besides the members of the Sanhedrim, there were gathered together all the senate (γερουσία) of the children of Israel, an expression which occurs only here, but which seems to comprise all the elders of the Jews, even though they were not members of the Sanhedrim. But some (Schleusner, Heinrich, etc.) understand it as merely another phrase for the Sanhedrim, added for explanation and amplification. The council, of course, were ignorant of the escape of the prisoners. The prison-house (δεσμωτήριον); "prison" (A.V.) represents φυλακή in the next verse. <a href="/commentaries/acts/5-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>At ὑπὸ (hypo) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_5259.htm">Strong's 5259: </a> A primary preposition; under, i.e. of place, or with verbs; of place (underneath) or where (below) or time (when). daybreak, ὄρθρον (orthron) Noun - Accusative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3722.htm">Strong's 3722: </a> Early dawn, day-break.
