Apostelgeschichte 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.

Apostelgeschichte 19:37 In-Context

35 Da aber der Kanzler das Volk gestillt hatte, sprach er: Ihr MĂ€nner von Ephesus, welcher Mensch ist, der nicht wisse, daß die Stadt Ephesus sei eine Pflegerin der großen Göttin Diana und des himmlischen Bildes?
36 Weil das nun unwidersprechlich ist, so sollt ihr ja stille sein und nichts UnbedÀchtiges handeln.
37 Ihr habt diese Menschen hergefĂŒhrt, die weder TempelrĂ€uber noch LĂ€sterer eurer Göttin sind.
38 Hat aber Demetrius und die mit ihm sind vom Handwerk, an jemand einen Anspruch, so hÀlt man Gericht und sind Landvögte da; lasset sie sich untereinander verklagen.
39 Wollt ihr aber etwas anderes handeln, so mag man es ausrichten in einer ordentlichen Gemeinde.
