Commentary on Acts 5:19
The miraculous deliverance - 'the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth' - demonstrates God's sovereign control. The Greek 'angelos kyriou' (angel of the Lord) may indicate Christ's pre-incarnate appearances or angelic messenger. The timing 'by night' avoided detection while the opened doors (Greek 'anoixas') showed supernatural power. The command 'Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life' turned deliverance toward mission - freedom served proclamation, not escape.
