Acts 5:31

Acts 5:31

29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: ^a“We ought to obey God rather than men.

30 ^aThe God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by ^bhanging on a tree.

31 ^aHim God has exalted to His right hand to be ^bPrince and ^cSavior, ^dto give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

32 And ^awe are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit ^bwhom God has given to those who obey Him.”

Gamaliel’s Advice

33 When they heard this, they were ^afurious and plotted to kill them.

34 Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named ^aGamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while.

<< Acts 5:30

Acts 5:32 >>

Exalt (uywsen) In contrast to their murder of Christ as in Acts 2:23 f. Peter repeats his charges with increased boldness.

With his right hand (th deciai autou). So instrumental case, or at his right hand (locative case), or even "to his right hand" (dative case) as in Acts 2:33.

Prince and Saviour (arxhgon kai swthra). See on Acts 3:15. Clearly "Prince" here.

To give (tou dounai). Genitive of articular infinitive (second aorist active of didwmi) of purpose.
