to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
Commentary on Psalms 105:222 voices
The soul that was once bound itself now binds others, even princes. The same moral binding is assigned to the saints (Ps 149:8). teach . . . senators wisdom--the ground of his exaltation by Pharaoh was his wisdom (Ge 41:39); namely, in state policy, and ordering well a kingdom.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
A father to the church that then was, to save the house of Israel from perishing by the famine. He was made great, that he might do good, especially in the household of faith. A figure of Christ that was to come, who, because he humbled himself and took upon him the form of a servant, was highly exalted, and has all judgment committed to him.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- Acts 5:21
At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.
Commentary on Acts 5:212 voices
Early in the morning - Greek: at the break of day. Compare Luk 24:1; Joh 8:2. Called the council together - The Sanhedrin, or the Great Council of the nation. This was clearly for the purpose of “trying” the apostles for disregarding their commandments. And all the senate - Greek: “eldership.” Probably these were not a part of the Sanhedrin, but were people of age and experience, who in Act 4:8; Act 25:15, are called “elders of the Jews,” and who were present for the sake of counsel Canal advice in a case of emergency.
Albert Barnes· Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
They, supposing they had the apostles sure enough, called the council together, a great and extraordinary council, for they summoned all the senate of the children of Israel. How they were prepared, and how big with expectation, to crush the gospel of Christ and the preachers of it, for they raised the whole posse.
