Hechos 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.

Hechos 19:37 In-Context

35 Entonces el secretario , después de calmar a la multitud, dijo<***>: Ciudadanos de Efeso, ¿hay acaso algún hombre que no sepa que la ciudad de los efesios es guardiana del templo de la gran Diana y de la imagen que descendió del cielo?
36 Puesto que estos hechos son innegables, debéis guardar calma y no hacer nada precipitadamente.
37 Porque habéis traído a estos hombres que ni roban templos, ni blasfeman a nuestra diosa.
38 Así pues, si Demetrio y los artífices que están con él tienen queja contra alguno, los tribunales están abiertos y los procónsules dispuestos; presenten sus acusaciones unos contra otros.
39 Pero si demandáis algo más que esto, se decidirá en asamblea legítima.
