Commentary on Acts 5:20

Theological / Devotional

Stand. The thought is that they were to present themselves publicly and boldly, for the Temple was the most public of places. There they had first been arrested (chs. 3:1, 11; 4:1-3).

Words of this life. The adjective “this” is significant. It refers to the life the apostles were advocating — life in Christ. This life begins in the present world, and continues into eternity (cf. John 17:3). This teaching was especially unacceptable to the Sadducees because of their disbelief in an afterlife. See Vol. V, p. 53.
