5:17-40 The success of the apostles’ ministry again aroused strong opposition (cp. 4:1-3). The wealthy and powerful Sadducees controlled the Temple establishment and had a Temple police force at their disposal. They opposed belief in the resurrection and were determined not to allow the apostles to proclaim their message about the resurrection of Jesus unchallenged. They also sensed that their hold on the Jewish people was loosening, so, filled with jealousy, they attacked the apostles.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἀκούσαντες
/having/_heard
Luke may be using the word “hear” in an idiomatic sense to mean “obey.” Alternate translation: [in obedience to this command from the angel]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν
into the temple
Only priests were allowed inside the temple building, so when Luke says the temple here, he means the courtyard associated with the temple. Alternate translation: [into the temple courtyard]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὑπὸ τὸν ὄρθρον
by ¬the dawn
The implication is that although the angel led the apostles out of the jail during the night, the sun was rising by the time they reached the temple courtyard. Alternate translation: [as it was beginning to get light]
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous
δὲ
and
Luke is using the word translated And to introduce other events that took place around the same time as the events he has just described. Alternate translation: [Meanwhile,]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
παραγενόμενος
/having/_arrived
This does not mean that the high priest and his allies arrived in the temple courtyard where the apostles were. Rather, it means that they went into the chamber where the Sanhedrin met so that they could summon the rest of its members to join them there. Alternate translation: [having arrived in the council chamber]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ Συνέδριον καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν Γερουσίαν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ
the the Sanhedrin and all the Sanhedrin ˱of˲_the sons ˱of˲_Israel
The phrase even all the elders of the sons of Israel clarifies the name Sanhedrin by describing it membership. Luke is using the word elders here in a general sense to mean “leaders.” He is not making a distinction between “elders” and “rulers” as he does in 4:5. Alternate translation: [the Sanhedrin, which was composed of the leaders of the sons of Israel]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ
˱of˲_the sons ˱of˲_Israel
Here, sons means “descendants.” Luke is identifying the Israelites as descendants of their ancestor Jacob, who was also known as Israel. Alternate translation: [the people of Israel]
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀπέστειλαν εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον
˱they˲_sent_out to the prison
Luke is leaving out a word that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. He means that the high priest and his allies sent someone to the prison to get the apostles. Alternate translation: [sent someone to the prison]
