Hechos 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.

6 Mas no hallándolos, trajeron a Jasón y a algunos hermanos a los gobernadores de la ciudad, dando voces: Que éstos son los que alborotan el mundo, y han venido acá

7 a los cuales Jasón ha recibido; y todos éstos hacen contra los decretos de César, diciendo que hay otro rey, Jesús

8 Y alborotaron al pueblo y a los gobernadores de la ciudad, oyendo estas cosas

9 Mas recibida satisfacción de Jasón y de los demás, los soltaron
