Commentary on Acts 5:9
Peter's charge - 'How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord?' - reveals the conspiracy's true nature: testing whether God would notice their deception. The Greek 'symphōneō' (agreed together) literally means 'sounded together,' emphasizing coordinated action. 'Tempt' (Greek 'peirazō') means test in sense of probing boundaries, similar to Israel's wilderness testing (Psalm 78:18). The phrase 'behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door' announced imminent identical judgment, giving momentary warning before execution.
