Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
And now (kai ta nun). "And as to (accusative of general reference) the now things (the present situation)." Only in the Acts in the N.T. (Acts 5:38; Acts 17:30; Acts 20:32; Acts 27:22).
Grant (dov). Second aorist active imperative of didwmi, urgency of the aorist, Do it now.
To speak thy word with all boldness (meta parrhsiav pashv lalein ton logon sou). Literally, "with all boldness to go on speaking (present active infinitive) thy word." Peter and John had defied the Sanhedrin in verse Acts 4:20, but all the same and all the more they pray for courage in deed to live up to their brave words. A wholesome lesson.
