“And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning , and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.”
Acts 5:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 5:21
The obedient action - 'when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught' - shows immediate compliance with angelic command despite danger. The Greek 'hypo ton orthron' (early morning) indicates dawn teaching, maximizing time and audience. Meanwhile, 'the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together' mobilized official opposition, unaware prisoners had escaped. The phrase 'all the senate of the children of Israel' (Greek 'pan to presbyterion') describes full Sanhedrin assembly, showing crisis level.
