Commentary on Acts 4:19
Peter and John's response - 'Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye' - appeals to the council's own conscience while asserting divine authority's supremacy. The Greek 'akouo' (hearken) implies obedient listening. This rhetorical question forces them to acknowledge their command's unrighteousness. The phrase 'in the sight of God' invokes ultimate judgment, before which their earthly authority means nothing.
