Context — The Apostles Before the Sanhedringenerated
Acts 5:40 describes how the apostles were brought before the Jewish council, where Gamaliel, a respected Pharisee, advised caution regarding their treatment. The council decided to flog the apostles and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, yet they were ultimately released. This reflects the tension between the early church and the Jewish authorities, as seen in earlier passages like Acts 4:18.

The Key Word — παρήγγειλαν, parangellōgenerated
The verb παρήγγειλαν is an aorist active indicative form, meaning 'they commanded'. It describes an authoritative order given by the council to the apostles, emphasizing the power dynamics at play.
This command reflects the council's attempt to control the apostles' activities while acknowledging their influence and the potential consequences of their actions.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations generally agree that the council issued a command to the apostles. The BSB uses ordered, while the KJV and ASV use commanded, both capturing the authoritative tone of the original Greek.
Where they differ is in the rendering of παρήγγειλαν. The KJV and GNV use they commanded, while the ASV and WEB opt for charged, highlighting the nuances of the command's strength.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is ἐπείσθησαν, they yielded, which governs the subsequent actions taken by the council. The structure consists of multiple clauses detailing the sequence of events: yielding to Gamaliel, calling the apostles, flogging them, commanding them, and finally releasing them.
Each action is linked through conjunctions, creating a flow that illustrates the council's deliberation and decision-making process.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The verb προσκαλέω, meaning 'to call to oneself,' is used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew verb קָרָא, which also means 'to call.' This connection underscores the authority involved in summoning the apostles.
The context in the Septuagint often reflects similar themes of authority and divine calling, which resonates with the apostles' mission.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 5:40 shows how the Jewish council, persuaded by Gamaliel, decided to punish the apostles without killing them. They called the apostles in, had them beaten, and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus before releasing them.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Et convocantes Apostolos, cæsis denuntiaverunt ne omnino loquerentur in nomine Jesu, et dimiserunt eos.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

προσκαλέω is a verb meaning to call to oneself or summon, derived from roots meaning 'toward' and 'to call.' It is used in the New Testament primarily in a middle voice, indicating a personal invitation or summons, such as in Matthew 10:1 and Acts 2:39. The term can also have metaphorical implications, referring to God's call to the Gentiles.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

Counted over the 10 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word ἀπόστολος (transliterated as apostolos) is derived from the verb ἀποστέλλω and means 'one sent forth.' It encompasses a range of meanings from a messenger or envoy to a specific reference to the Apostles of Christ, particularly the Twelve. In the New Testament, it is used to denote both the original apostles and other prominent Christian figures like Barnabas, while also addressing false claimants to the title.
ἀπόστολος, -ου, ὁ
(< ἀποστέλλω),
[in LXX; III Ki 14:6 A (שְׁלִיחַ)*;]
a fleet, an expedition (Dem.).

In NT, an Apostle of Christ
ἀπόστολος, -ov, 6; 1. a delegate, messenger, one sent forth with orders, (Hat. 1, 21 ; 5, 38; for mow in 1 K. xiv. 6 [Alex.]; rabbin. m-u/) : Jn. xiii. 16 (where ὁ ἀπόστ. and ὁ πέμψας αὐτόν are contrasted) ; foll. by a gen., as τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν, 2 Co. viii. 23; Phil. ii. 25; andor. τῆς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν the apostle whom we confess, of Christ, God’s chief messenger, who has brought the κλῆσις ἐπουράνιος, as compared with Moses, whom the Jews confess, Heb. iii. rE 2.

It is not easy to point to an adequate parallel for the NT usage of this important word, but it may be noted that in Herod. i. 21 (cf. v. 38) it is found = ‘‘ messenger,” ‘‘ envoy,” and with the same meaning in LXX 3 Regn 14° A ἐγώ εἰμι ἀπόστολος πρὸς σὲ σκληρός, cf. Symm. Isai 18%. Reference may also be made to the interesting fragment in P Par p- 411 f.

δέρω (derō) means to skin or flay, often used in a metaphorical sense to mean to beat or thrash. It appears in various New Testament passages, including Matthew 21:35 and Mark 12:3. The word has roots in both physical and figurative contexts, with some lexicons noting its colloquial use to mean 'thrash.' There is a slight variation in how some lexicons interpret its metaphorical applications.
δέρω; 1 aor. ἔδειμα : 2 fut. pass. δαρήσομαι; 1. to flay, skin: Hom. II. 1,459; 23, 167, ete. 2. to beat, thrash, smite, (cf. Germ. durchgerben, [low Eng. hide]), so sometimes in prof. auth. fr. Arstph. ran. 619 [ef. vesp. 485] down: τινά, Mt. xxi. 35; Mk. xii. 3,5; Lk. xx. 10 sq-; xxii. 63; Jn. xviii. 23; Acts v. 40; xvi. 37; xxii. 19; εἰς πρόσωπον δέρειν τινά, 2 Co. xi. 20; ἀέρα δέρειν (see ἀήρ), 1 Co. ix. 26; Pass.: Mk. xiii. 9; Lk. xii. 47 (δαρήσεται πολλάς, sc. πληγάς, will be beaten with many stripes) ; 48, (ὀλίγας, cf. Xen. an. 5, 8, 12 παίειν ὀλίγας. Soph. El. 1415 παίειν διπλῆν, Arstph. nub. 968 (972) τύπτεσθαι πολλάς. Plat. lege. 8 p. 845 a. μαστιγοῦσθαι πληγάς; cf. [W. 589 (548)]; B. [82 (72)]: § 134, 6).
δέρω. P Oxy III. 653 (4) (before Ap. 161) shows us this word in its colloquial sense—first found in Aristophanes—of SObeatecn ‘‘thrash” instead of ‘‘flay.” In the account of a trial regarding a mortgage upon the property of Voltimus which had been seized by the creditor, Sempronius Orestinus, the Praefect informs the latter that unless he makes restitution - οὐ μόνον κατακριθήσει ἀλλὰ Kal δαρήσίει. So in Sy// 7379 (c.

It may be noted that for the ordinary rendering of 2 Cor 112° εἴ τις εἰς πρόσωπον ὑμᾶς δέρει, ‘if any one smiteth you on the face,” Paspati suggests (see #xp III. i. p. 238) ‘Sif he upbraideth you to your face,’ in view of the MGr προσωποδέρει.

παραγγέλλω is built from παρά and ἀγγέλλω, meaning to transmit a message or to command. It covers a range of meanings from notifying to ordering, often seen in contexts of authority or instruction. In the New Testament, it appears in verses like Matthew 10:5 and 1 Timothy 6:13. Notably, some lexicons suggest a distinction in strength between παραγγέλλω and similar verbs like κελεύω.

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete. But pris either an ad verb of negation, not (Lat. non, ne); or aconjunction, that... not, lest, (Lat. ne); or an interrogative particle, (Lat. num) [i. e.

λαλέω (laleo) means to talk or speak, often implying a vocal utterance. It can refer to both human speech and the sounds made by animals or inanimate objects. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as to convey messages or make declarations (e.g., Matthew 9:33). Notably, it differs from λέγω (lego), which focuses more on the meaning of what is said.
In dealing with synonyms of the N. T. we plainly need not concern ourselves with such earlier, or even contemporary, uses of the words which we are discriminating, as lie altogether outside of the N. T. sphere, when these uses do not illustrate, and have not affected, their Scriptural employment. It follows from this that all those contemptuous uses of λαλεῖν as to talk at random, as one ἀθυρόστομος, or with no door to his lips, might do; of λαλιά, as chatter («Kpacia λόγου ἄλογος, Plato, Defin. 416)—for I cannot believe that we are to find this at John iv. 42—may be dismissed and set aside. The antithesis in the line of Eupolis (Meineke, /ragm. Com. Gr. p. 174), Λαλεῖν ἄριστος, ἀδυνατώτατος λέγειν, does little or nothing to illustrate the matter in hand. The distinction which indeed exists between the words may in this way be made clear. There are two leading aspects under which speech…

The Greek word ἐπί (epi) is a preposition that indicates a relationship of superposition, often translated as 'on,' 'upon,' or 'over.' It can govern the genitive, dative, or accusative cases, covering meanings related to place, time, authority, and various figurative uses. In the New Testament, it frequently appears with the accusative case, especially in contexts of motion or direction, such as in Matthew 14:28.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

ὄνομα (onoma) means 'name' and can refer to the title or reputation of a person or thing. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as indicating authority or character (e.g., Mt 10:41) and is often contrasted with the reality behind the name (e.g., Rev 3:1). The term can also signify a mere name or pretext, as seen in Mk 9:41.

nam (shem; onoma; Latin nomen (2 Esdras 4:1); verbs onomazo; Latin nomino (2 Esdras 5:26)): A "name" is that by which a person, place or thing is marked and known. In Scripture, names were generally descriptive of the person, of his position, of some circumstance affecting him, hope entertained concerning him, etc., so that "the name" often came to stand for the person. In Ac 1:15; Re 3:4, onoma stands for "persons"; compare Nu 26:53,55.
I. Old Testament Word and Use.
1. General:
The word for "name" in the Old Testament is shem (also the name of one of the sons of Noah). The etymology is uncertain, although it may be from shamah (obs.), "to set a mark"; shum is the Aramaic form. For the name as descriptive of the person see NAMES.…

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word Ἰησοῦς (*Iēsous*) refers primarily to Jesus, the Savior, and is derived from the Hebrew name Joshua or Jehoshua. It appears frequently in the New Testament, denoting Jesus Christ, and also refers to other figures named Jesus, such as Jesus, son of Eliezer, and Jesus Justus. The entries consistently identify it as a common name among Israelites.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.
