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 You have brought these men here who are neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of our goddess.

38 If therefore Demetrius and the artisans with him have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges there against one another.

39 If there is anything further you want to know, it must be settled in the regular assembly.

40 For we are in danger of being charged with rioting today, since there is no cause that we can give to justify this commotion."

41 When he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
