Stand; the word implies courage and stedfastness of mind, as well as such a posture of the body. All the words; without preferring some acceptable truths before others more ungrateful, if necessary towards their salvation. Christ for a time did limit them; they might not tell any that he was Jesus the Christ, Matthew 16:20, nor the vision which they had seen in his transfiguration, Matthew 17:9. Now this prohibition is taken off. Thus the sun does not shine in his full glory all at once. This life; some admit of an hypallage, and join the pronoun to the other substantive, reading in this place, these words of life; and the rather because by this life is ordinarily understood the present, temporary life, as in 1 Corinthians 15:19: but there needs not this translatitious sense; by this life, the angel might very well understand eternal life and salvation, for that was it which the Sadducees denied, and for the preaching of which life the apostles were imprisoned.
