He brought them without violence. 1We have spoken somewhat before of the captain of the Temple. For I do not think that it was lawful for the Jews to set and appoint whom they would to rule the temple, but that the President of the Province did appoint one to have the government of the temple. And he sayeth that they were brought without violence, that is, that they were not drawn violently: least any tumult should arise. So that whereas they neither fear nor reverence God, they are afraid of men. The Apostles also do show their modesty in that, that whereas they are guarded with a great number of men, yet do they suffer themselves to be led away by the officers, least they should be authors of any tumult.
He brought them without violence. 1Wee haue spoken somewhat before of the captaine of the Temple. For I doe not thinke that it was lawfull for the Iewes to set and appoint whome they would to rule the temple, but that the President of the Prouince did appoint one to haue the gouernment of the temple. And hee saieth that they were brought without violence, that is, that they were not drawen violently: least any tumult shoulde arise. So that whereas they neither feare nor reuerence God, they are afraide of men. The Apostles also doe shew their modestie in that, that whereas they are garded with a great number of men, yet doe they suffer themselues to be led away by the officers, least they shoulde be authours of any tumult.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the chief priest asked them, 28 Saying, Did not we in commanding, command you, that you should not teach in this name•. And behold ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you will bring the blood of this man upon us.
