The Rulers’ Fear of the People

"Ye intend to bring this man's blood upon us." These wicked rulers had no fear of God before their eyes, but they feared the people. Verse 26 says, "They feared the people lest they should have been stoned." The people had been healed in the name of Jesus; but every sermon of the apostles showed that the Jewish rulers had crucified him. The rulers did not by these words intend to deny that they had put Jesus to death; they simply showed that they feared the consequences if the people should have the matter set before them in its true light.
