“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
Acts 5:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 5:20
The angelic command - 'Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life' - contains crucial elements. 'Go' sends them back to danger. 'Stand' (Greek 'stathentes') implies bold visibility, not hiding. The temple location maximized publicity and risk. 'All the words' (Greek 'panta ta rhēmata') demanded complete message, no compromise. The phrase 'this life' (Greek 'tēs zōēs tautēs') encompasses eternal life through Christ - the gospel's comprehensive scope. This divine commission superseded human prohibition (Acts 4:18).
