Atos 19:37 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 19:37

For ye have brought hither these men
The Arabic version reads, "these two men"; that is, Gaius and Aristarchus, whom they had brought by force into the theatre to fight with wild beasts:

which are neither robbers of churches;
or "temples"; or, as the Arabic version renders it, "robbers of the vessels of the temple", sacrilegious persons; they have not stolen anything out of the temple of Diana, nor any other:

nor yet blasphemers of your goddess;
they have not made mention of her name, much less said anything against her, at least this officer did not know that they had; and if he had, he did not stick to tell an officious lie to screen them, as did the Egyptian midwives in favour of the Hebrew women.

Atos 19:37 In-Context

35 Havendo o escrivão conseguido apaziguar a turba, disse: Varões efésios, que homem há que não saiba que a cidade dos efésios é a guardadora do templo da grande deusa Diana, e da imagem que caiu de Júpiter?
36 Ora, visto que estas coisas não podem ser contestadas, convém que vos aquieteis e nada façais precipitadamente.
37 Porque estes homens que aqui trouxestes, nem sĂŁo sacrĂ­legos nem blasfemadores da nossa deusa.
38 Todavia, se Demétrio e os artífices que estão com ele têm alguma queixa contra alguém, os tribunais estão abertos e há procônsules: que se acusem uns aos outros.
39 E se demandais alguma outra coisa, averiguar-se-á em legítima assembléia.
