Cambridge Greek Testament Commentary

Acts 5:25

λέγων omitted with אABDEP. It is not represented in Vulg.

25. παραγενόμενος δέ τις, and there came one, &c. The Apostles made no attempt at concealment, and the judgment-hall was at no great distance from the place in which they were teaching.

εἰσὶν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ κ.τ.λ. Render, are in the Temple, standing and teaching, &c. The words look back to the command of the angel in Acts 5:20, and shew that Peter and his fellows were obedient thereto. This standing implies the prominent and undaunted position which the Apostles had taken up. They were not like prisoners who had escaped, and so were seeking a place to hide themselves; but like men whose work had been interfered with, and who, as soon as they were able, had come back to it again.
