“And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.”
Acts 5:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 5:13
The paradox - 'of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them' - describes simultaneous reverence and distance. The Greek 'kollaō' (join) suggests close association. 'Durst no man' indicates fear-induced hesitation following Ananias and Sapphira's judgment. Yet 'the people magnified them' (Greek 'megalynō,' made great) showed public respect. This tension reveals healthy fear: reverence for holiness without reducing God to cosmic buddy. Casual approach to sacred things was impossible after witnessing divine judgment.
