Acts 19:39 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 19:39

But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters
Than what belongs to the craft and business of Demetrius, and the artificers:

it shall be determined in a lawful assembly;
that is, called together according to law, and who have a right to hear, try, and judge causes, which such a confused lawless assembly as this in the theatre had not.

Acts 19:39 In-Context

37 The men you brought here don't rob temples or insult our goddess.

38 If Demetrius and the men who work for him have a legal complaint against anyone, we have special days and officials to hold court. That's where they should bring charges against each other.

39 If you want anything else, you must settle the matter in a legal assembly.

40 At this moment we run the risk of being accused of rioting today for no reason. We won't be able to explain this mob."

41 After saying this, he dismissed the assembly.
