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 ye have brought these men, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your goddess.

38 If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who [are] with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.

39 But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.

40 For also we are in danger to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.

41 And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
