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 "These men haven't robbed any temples. They haven't said evil things against our goddess. But you have brought them here anyhow.

38 Demetrius and the other skilled workers may feel they have been wronged by someone. Let them bring charges. The courts are open. We have our governors.

39 Is there anything else you want to bring up? Settle it in a court of law.

40 As it is, today we are in danger of being charged with causing all this trouble. But there is no reason for it. We wouldn't be able to explain what has happened."

41 After he said this, he sent the people away.
