Acts 5:26 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 5:26
The careful rearrest - 'Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned' - shows forced restraint. The Greek 'ou meta bias' (without violence) indicates gentle approach contrary to their authority and anger. Fear of popular stoning reversed normal power dynamics - religious leaders fearing crowd, not apostles. This demonstrates gospel's power to transform social structures, with common people defending God's messengers against corrupt authorities.
