EXPLANATION

Verse 5. Upon. Or “over.” Bible.—The Jews made their sanhedrim superior to the kings, as the Chal. here insinuates. But the text rather means that both the ecclesiastical and civil courts shall be re-established, and bring an immense concourse of people to the city. Calmet.—The Church is empowered to pass sentence, ( Worthington.) and the apostles shall judge both men and angels. Bible.
