Atos 17:7 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 17:7

Whom Jason hath received
Into his house in a private manner, and has entertained, contrary to law, which forbids men to receive and entertain persons of seditious principles, and practices, for this is mentioned as a charge against Jason:

and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar;
both the apostle and those with him, and Jason, and the brethren, whom they now had set before the magistrates, who were all of the same sentiments and practices; and which were opposite to the decrees of the Roman emperor, and the Roman senate, who suffered none to be called a king but whom they pleased; whereas these men taught, saying,

that there is another king, one Jesus;
but then though they said he was a king, yet not a temporal one, but one whose kingdom was spiritual, and not of this world; and therefore asserted nothing contrary to the decrees of Caesar, or what was in the least prejudicial to his worldly interest and glory.

Atos 17:7 In-Context

5 Mas os judeus, movidos de inveja, tomando consigo alguns homens maus dentre os vadios e ajuntando o povo, alvoroçavam a cidade e, assaltando a casa de Jáson, os procuravam para entregá-los ao povo.

6 Porém, não os achando, arrastaram Jáson e alguns irmãos � presença dos magistrados da cidade, clamando: Estes que têm transtornado o mundo chegaram também aqui,

7 os quais Jáson acolheu; e todos eles procedem contra os decretos de César, dizendo haver outro rei, que é Jesus.

8 Assim alvoroçaram a multidão e os magistrados da cidade, que ouviram estas coisas.

9 Tendo, porém, recebido fiança de Jáson e dos demais, soltaram-nos.
