Commentary on Acts 5:27
The accusation - 'Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us' - reveals multiple grievances. The phrase 'straitly command' (Greek intensive) emphasizes their authority. Their avoidance of Jesus' name ('this name,' 'this man') shows contempt or fear. 'Filled Jerusalem with your doctrine' admits gospel's saturation despite opposition. The blood-guilt accusation ('intend to bring this man's blood upon us') acknowledges their role in crucifixion they tried denying.
