Hechos 18:14

14 Pablo ya iba a hablar cuando Galión les dijo:—Si ustedes los judíos estuvieran entablando una demanda sobre algún delito o algún crimen grave, sería razonable que los escuchara.

Hechos 18:14 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 18:14

And when Paul was now about to open his mouth
In his own defence, and plead his own cause, and answer to the charge exhibited against him:

Gallio said unto the Jews, if it was matter of wrong;
of injury to any man's person or property, as murder, theft

or wicked lewdness;
as fraud, forgery, perjury, treason

O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
his sense is, that it would be according to right reason, and agreeably to his office as a judge, to admit them and their cause, and try it, and hear them patiently, and what was to be said on both sides of the question, what the charges were, and the proof of them, and what the defendant had to say for himself. The Vulgate Latin version reads, "O men Jews"; and so Beza's ancient copy.

Hechos 18:14 In-Context

12 Mientras Galión era gobernador de Acaya, los judíos a una atacaron a Pablo y lo condujeron al tribunal.
13 —Este hombre —denunciaron ellos— anda persuadiendo a la gente a adorar a Dios de una manera que va en contra de nuestra ley.
14 Pablo ya iba a hablar cuando Galión les dijo:—Si ustedes los judíos estuvieran entablando una demanda sobre algún delito o algún crimen grave, sería razonable que los escuchara.
15 Pero como se trata de cuestiones de palabras, de nombres y de su propia ley, arréglense entre ustedes. No quiero ser juez de tales cosas.
16 Así que mandó que los expulsaran del tribunal.
