Commentary on Acts 5:28
The high priest's question reveals the religious establishment's fear of losing authority ('Did not we straitly command you'). Their concern about 'this man's blood' being upon them ironically recalls their own acceptance of responsibility (Matt. 27:25). The apostles' disobedience to human authority in order to obey God demonstrates the hierarchy of authority: God's commands supersede human commands when they conflict. The growth of Christianity despite official prohibition testifies to divine sovereignty.
