We gave you strict orders The phrase "strict orders" in the Greek is "παραγγελίᾳ παρηγγείλαμεν" (parangelia parēngeilamen), which conveys a command or charge with authority. This reflects the Sanhedrin's attempt to assert their religious authority over the apostles. Historically, the Sanhedrin was the supreme religious council in Jerusalem, and their orders were expected to be followed without question. This highlights the tension between human authority and divine mandate, as the apostles were compelled by a higher calling to preach the Gospel. not to teach in this name he said Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man's blood Ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine.--Better, with your teaching, both to keep up the connection with the previous clause, and because the word is taken, as in Matthew 7:28, in its wider sense, and not in the modern sense which attaches to "doctrine" as meaning a formulated opinion. To bring this man's blood upon us.--There seems a touch, partly of scorn, partly, it may be, of fear, in the careful avoidance (as before, in "this name") of the name of Jesus. The words that Peter had uttered, in Acts 2:36; Acts 3:13-14; Acts 4:10, gave some colour to the conscience-stricken priests for this charge; but it was a strange complaint to come from those who had at least stirred up the people to cry, "His blood be on us and on our children" (Matthew 27:25). . . . Verse 28. - We straitly charged for did not we straitly command? A.V. and T.R.; not to for that ye should not, A.V.; teaching for doctrine, A.V. We straitly charged, etc.; ἐπερωτάω seems to require a question to follow. Your teaching (for the command, see Acts 4:18). Intend to bring, etc. Here the secret of the persecution comes out, The guilty conscience winced at every word which spake of Jesus Christ as living. The high priest, too, would not so much as name the name of Jesus. It was "this name," "this man;" as in the Talmud, Jesus is most frequently spoken of as Teloni, i.e. "such a one," in Spanish and Portuguese Fulano, or still more contemptuously as "that man" (Farrar, 'Life of St. Paul,' vol. 1. p. 108). This terror of blood-guiltiness is a striking comment on the saying recorded in Matthew 27:25.Parallel Commentaries ...
