καὶ
and
Luke uses the word translated And to introduce what the council members did as a result of their discussion. Alternate translation: “So”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
καλέσαντες αὐτοὺς, παρήγγειλαν
/having/_called them ˱they˲_commanded_‹them›
The pronoun them refers in both instances to Peter and John, and the pronoun they refers to the council members. It may be helpful to your readers to clarify this. Alternate translation: “summoning Peter and John, the council members commanded them”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
μὴ φθέγγεσθαι μηδὲ διδάσκειν
not /to_be/_speaking nor /to_be/_teaching
The words speak and teach mean similar things. The council members may be using them together for emphasis. Alternate translation: “not to say anything publicly”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ
in the name ¬the ˱of˲_Jesus
Here, name represents a person by association with the way that each person has a name. Alternate translation: “about this person Jesus”
4:1-22 Persecution was a common experience of God’s people throughout the Bible. God’s servants often faced hostility and opposition (Deut 30:7; 1 Kgs 18:13; Neh 4:1-3; Jer 37–38; Matt 23:34-37; Luke 11:49-51; 1 Thes 2:14-15). Jesus himself was persecuted (Luke 4:29; John 5:16), and he told his disciples to expect the same kind of treatment (Matt 10:23; 24:9; Mark 13:9; Luke 21:12; John 16:2), but he promised that the Holy Spirit would provide strength (Acts 1:8; Luke 12:11-12; 21:15). Acts records frequent times of persecution (Acts 4:3; 5:17-41; 7:54–8:3; 9:1-2; 11:19; 12:2; 13:50; 14:19; 16:19-24), but Acts also reiterates that the Holy Spirit empowers disciples to bear witness in such circumstances (2:44; 4:8-13; 6:10; 7:55). The boldness of Peter and John before the hostile high council exemplifies facing persecution with courage and power (4:20).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
