Commentary on Acts 5:35

Theological / Devotional

Men of Israel. A familiar and persuasive form of address, used in speaking to equals (cf. ch. 2:22). Contrast Peter’s approach when addressing the same body of men (ch. 4:8).

Take heed to yourselves. Or, “be careful.” Not to warn of impending danger, but to indicate the need for thought before action. But compare the Lord’s use of the same formula (Matt. 6:1; 7:15; 10:17), and Paul’s (1 Tim. 1:4; 4:13; Titus 1:14).
