This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 5:20. Πορεύεσθε, go) at once.-σταθέντες, standing) most freely.-ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, in the temple) in public, as before.-τῷ λαῷ, to the people) whereas the rulers do not wish them to hear.-πάντα, all) without any curtailment.-τὰ ῥήματα τῆς ζωῆς ταυτῆς, the words of this life) That is, these words of life. With this comp. Act 5:32. So among the Hebrews the adjective often is connected with the latter of the two substantives. Comp. ch. Act 13:26, “The word of this salvation.” The words of life, Joh 6:68 (” Lord, Thou hast the words of eternal life”), are to be proclaimed without fear, viz. the words concerning the life of Christ and of believers.
