Acts 5:29 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. We ought to obey God rather than men - The same answer they gave before, Acts 4:19, founded on the same reason, which still stood good. We have received our commission from God; we dare not lay it down at the desire or command of men. See the note on Acts 4:19.
