Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 29. - But for then, A.V.; the apostles for the other apostles, A.V.; must for ought to, A.V. Peter is the spokesman, the sentiment is that of the united apostolate. Must obey God, etc. The rule is a golden one for all men, all circumstances, and all time (comp. Acts 4:19). Peter does not deny having received the prohibition, but pleads the superior force of the command of God, as set forth in the following verses.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(29) Then Peter and the other apostles.--The whole company of the Twelve, it must be remembered, were now the objects of attack, and they all accept Peter as their spokesman.We ought to obey God rather than men.--The words are an assertion of the same general law of duty as that of Acts 4:19-20, but the command of the angel in Acts 5:20 had given them a new significance.
