Apostelgeschichte 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.

Apostelgeschichte 17:7 In-Context

5 Die Juden aber wurden voll Neides und nahmen etliche böse Männer vom Gassenpöbel zu sich, machten einen Volksauflauf und brachten die Stadt in Aufruhr; und sie traten vor das Haus Jasons und suchten sie unter das Volk zu führen.
6 Als sie sie aber nicht fanden, schleppten sie Jason und etliche Brüder vor die Obersten der Stadt und riefen: Diese, welche den Erdkreis aufgewiegelt haben, sind auch hierher gekommen,
7 welche Jason beherbergt hat; und diese alle handeln wider die Verordnungen des Kaisers, indem sie sagen, daß ein anderer König sei Jesus.
8 Sie beunruhigten aber die Volksmenge und die Obersten der Stadt, als sie dies hörten.
9 Und nachdem sie von Jason und den übrigen Bürgschaft genommen hatten, entließen sie dieselben.
