So when they had further threatened them Namely, in severer terms than before; they let them go Not thinking it proper, all circumstances considered, to proceed to any further extremities at that time; since they could find nothing in their conduct for which they could punish them with any show of reason; because of the people Whose resentment they feared. For all men glorified God for that which was done So much wiser were they than those who ruled over them. For the man Who had been a cripple from his birth; was above forty years old So that hardly any thing could have appeared to human judgment to be a more desperate case, than so inveterate and confirmed a lameness.
