“And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.”
Acts 5:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 5:11
The summary statement - 'great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things' - describes the intended effect: holy reverence. The Greek 'phobos megas' (great fear) indicates more than anxiety - profound awe at God's holiness and justice. This marks the first use of 'ekklesia' (church) in Acts, defining the community as those who fear God's presence. The phrase 'as many as heard' extended impact beyond Jerusalem church to all who heard the report, serving as perpetual warning against hypocrisy.
