Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
now, Lord, behold their threatenings—Recognizing in the threatenings of the Sanhedrim a declaration of war by the combined powers of the world against their infant cause, they seek not enthusiastically to hide from themselves its critical position, but calmly ask the Lord of heaven and earth to "look upon their threatenings."
that with all boldness they may speak thy word—Rising above self, they ask only fearless courage to testify for their Master, and divine attestation to their testimony by miracles of healing, etc., in His name.
PETER AND JOHN DISMISSED FROM THE SAMHEDRIM, REPORT THE PROCEEDINGS TO THE ASSEMBLED DISCIPLES—THEY ENGAGE IN PRAYER—THE ASTONISHING ANSWER AND RESULTS. (Acts 4:23-37)
being let go, they went to their own company—Observe the two opposite classes, representing the two interests which were about to come into deadly conflict.
