This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Ver. 29. We ought to obey God rather than men] This is a principle granted and grafted in us by nature. I love and embrace you, O Athenians (said Socrates, in his Apology), but yet I will obey God rather than you. {See Trapp on "Act_4:19"} {See Trapp on "Mat_22:21"} The article is twice repeated when our Saviour speaks of God, more than when of Caesar; to show that our special care should be to give God his due.
