SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:20

Id, y estando en el Templo, hablad al pueblo todas las palabras de esta vida.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 5:20

Verse 20. All the words of this life.] All the doctrines of life eternal, founded on the word, death, and resurrection of Christ Jesus. This is another periphrasis for Gospel. Go to the temple-the most public place, and speak to the people-who come there to worship according to the law, the words of this life-the whole doctrine of salvation from sin and death; and show that the law is fulfilled in the sacrifice of Jesus, and that, by his resurrection, he has brought life and immortality to light.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 20. Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people , etc.] They were not delivered out of prison, in order to go and secure themselves from danger; but to go about the work they were called to, to preach the Gospel in the temple, the place of worship; and a proper place to meet with persons to preach to, being a public place, whither the Jews always resorted; and there they were to stand, and continue with courage and intrepidity, not fearing the reproach and wrath of men, seeing they had both Christ and truth on their side; and there declare it to the people, the common people, the multitude, even all that came to hear: the Gospel is to be preached to all; the Spirit of God makes it effectual to some, and others are rendered inexcusable: the substance of what they were to speak follows, all the words of this life ; all the doctrines of the Gospel; none of them are to be dropped or concealed, but to be spoken out, fully, freely, and faithfully, with all boldness and constancy; though they cannot be comprehended by reason, and are rejected by learned men, and the majority of the people; though charged with novelty and licentiousness, and attended with reproach and persecution: and these may be called, the words of life, even of eternal life, as in ( John 6:68) because they show the nature of it, and point out the way unto it; not by the law, and obedience to that, but by Christ and his righteousness; and are the means of quickening dead sinners, of reviving drooping saints, and of nourishing them up unto eternal life: and also the words of this life; not of this present frail, mortal, and sinful life; but of life by Christ, which is begun to be enjoyed now, and will be perfectly enjoyed hereafter: and particularly the doctrine of the resurrection unto life may be intended; in opposition to the Sadducees, who denied it, and were the men that, being filled with indignation against them for preaching it, had seized them, and put them into prison; and being now delivered from prison, they are bid to go and preach this same doctrine again, in the most public manner: though some think there is an hypallage in the words; and so the Syriac version renders them, all these words of life; and the Ethiopic version, this word of life; meaning the Gospel, and the doctrines of it, they had in commission to preach, and for which they were reproached and persecuted.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 17-25 - There is no prison so dark, so strong, but God can visit his people i it, and, if he pleases, fetch them out. Recoveries from sickness releases out of trouble, are granted, not that we may enjoy the comforts of life, but that God may be honoured with the services of ou life. It is not for the preachers of Christ's gospel to retire int corners, as long as they can have any opportunity of preaching in the great congregation. They must preach to the lowest, whose souls are a precious to Christ as the souls of the greatest. Speak to all, for all are concerned. Speak as those who resolve to stand to it, to live an die by it. Speak all the words of this heavenly, divine life, i comparison with which the present earthly life does not deserve the name. These words of life, which the Holy Ghost puts into your mouth The words of the gospel are the words of life; words whereby we may be saved. How wretched are those who are vexed at the success of the gospel! They cannot but see that the word and power of the Lord ar against them; and they tremble for the consequences, yet they will go on.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

20. Stand. Compare ch. ii. 14; and see on Luke xviii. 11; xix. 8.

Of this life. The eternal life which Christ revealed. It is a peculiar use of the phrase, which is commonly employed in contrast with the life to come, as 1 Cor. xv. 19. Compare John vi. 63, 68. Not equivalent to these words of life.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

5:20 {And stand} (kai staqentes). First aorist passive participle (intransitive, ingressive aorist), take a stand. Bold and pictorial command. {All the words of this life} (panta ta rhemata tes zwes tautes). Not just a Hebraism for "all these words of life." Probably " this life" which the Sadducees deny and of which the angel is now speaking, this eternal life. (#Joh 6:63,68; 1Co 15:19).
