SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:14

Y los que creían en el Seor se aumentaban ms, gran nmero así de hombres como de mujeres.)

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 5:14

Verse 14. And
believers were the more added to the Lord] Believers: 1.

Those who credited the Divine mission of Christ. 2. That he was the Messiah. 3. That he died for their sins. 4. That he rose again. 5. That he ascended into heaven. 6. That he sent down the gift of the Holy Spirit. 7.

That he ever appeared in the presence of God for them. 8. That it was he who gives repentance and remission of sins. And, 9. He by whom the world is to be judged. These were simple articles, of the truth of which they had the fullest evidence.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 14. And believers were the more added to the Lord , etc.] That is, to the church, as in ( Acts 2:47) over which Christ was Lord and head; for they were added to the Lord before, by believing in him, when they gave up themselves to him, to be saved by him; and now to the apostles, and the church by the will of God; and this case of Ananias and Sapphira was so far from hindering persons from coming into the church, that there were greater additions made to it than before, even of such as were true believers in Christ. The Ethiopic version reads, and many were added who believed in our Lord; the Arabic version, they that believed in the Lord increased; the Syriac version, and they more increased who believed in the Lord; and so the Vulgate Latin version, but the multitude of them that believe in the Lord were the more increased; all of them reading the phrase, the Lord, not in construction with the word added, but with believers: multitudes both of men and women; the weaker sex were not intimidated any more than the men, such power went along with the word, and such grace was bestowed upon them. This church must now be prodigiously numerous, for before these additions, eight thousand had been added to the hundred and twenty; such success the Gospel had, and such progress it made in the hands of such mean and contemptible persons, notwithstanding the opposition of the chief men of the nation to it.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12-16 - The separation of
hypocrites by distinguishing judgments, should make the sincere cleave closer to each other and to the gospel ministry Whatever tends to the purity and reputation of the church, promotes it enlargement; but that power alone which wrought such miracles by the apostles, can rescue sinners from the power of sin and Satan, and ad believers to His worshippers. Christ will work by all his faithfu servants; and every one who applies to him shall be healed.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

14. Were added (prosetiqento). Imperfect: kept being added.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

5:14 {Were the more added} (mallon prosetiqento). Rather (mallon) instead of decrease as one might expect. Imperfect passive indicative of prostiqemi common mi verb, kept on being added. {Both of men and women} (andrwn te kai gunaikwn). The distinction between andres and gunaikes and to be considered in connection with andres in #4:4 which see.
