Acts 18:13 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 18:13

Saying, this fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary
to the law.
] Meaning either to the law of the Romans, which forbad the bringing in of any new gods, without the leave of the senate; (See Gill on Acts 16:21); or rather to the law of Moses: the Arabic version reads, "our law"; though this was false, for Moses in his law wrote of Christ, and ordered the children of Israel to hearken to him.

Acts 18:13 In-Context

11 Paul lived in Corinth for a year and a half and taught the word of God to them.
12 While Gallio was governor of Greece, the Jews had one thought in mind. They attacked Paul and brought him to court.
13 They said, "This man is persuading people to worship God in ways that are against Moses' Teachings."
14 Paul was about to answer when Gallio said to the Jews, "If there were some kind of misdemeanor or crime involved, reason would demand that I put up with you Jews.
15 But since you're disputing words, names, and your own teachings, you'll have to take care of that yourselves. I don't want to be a judge who gets involved in those things."
