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 brought these men [here] [who are] neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of our goddess.

38 If then Demetrius and the craftsmen [who are] with him have a complaint against anyone, the court days are observed and there are proconsuls--let them bring charges against one another!

39 But if you desire anything further, it will be settled in the lawful assembly.

40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused of rioting concerning today, [since there] is no cause in relation to which we will be able to give an account concerning this disorderly gathering!" And [when he] had said these [things], he dismissed the assembly.
