“And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.”
Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. — the order is unambiguous: speak (laleō, speak) and teach (didaskō, teach) are both prohibited in the name of Jesus. The double prohibition (absolutely forbidden, ou) shows the seriousness of the threat. The authorities assume their legal authority overrides Jesus' commission to the apostles.
