Greek Commentary for Acts 5:28
Like the Hebrew idiom (common in the lxx), though found in Greek, with charging (instrumental case) we charged (cf. same idiom in Luke 22:15). Somewhat like the cognate accusative. The command referred to occurs in Acts 4:17, Acts 4:18 and the refusal of Peter and John in Acts 4:20. [source]
Note repetition of επι epi Second aorist active infinitive of επαγω epagō old verb, but in the N.T. only here and 2 Peter 2:1, 2 Peter 2:5. The Sanhedrin gladly took the blood of Christ on their heads and their children to Pilate (Matthew 27:25). Paul tried to save the Jews (Acts 18:6; Acts 22:20). “This man” (του αντρωπου τουτου tou anthrōpou toutou). Contemptuous slur and refusal to call the name of Jesus as in the Talmud later. [source]
