Acts 19:39 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 19:39

But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters
Than what belongs to the craft and business of Demetrius, and the artificers:

it shall be determined in a lawful assembly;
that is, called together according to law, and who have a right to hear, try, and judge causes, which such a confused lawless assembly as this in the theatre had not.

Acts 19:39 In-Context

37 For you have taken these men, who are not doing damage to the holy place or talking against our goddess.

38 If, then, Demetrius and the workmen who are with him have a protest to make against any man, the law is open to them, and there are judges; let them put up a cause at law against one another.

39 But if any other business is in question, let it be taken up in the regular meeting.

40 For, truly, we are in danger of being made responsible for this day's trouble, there being no cause for it: and we are not able to give any reason for this coming together.

41 And when he had said this, he sent the meeting away.
