Atti 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.

Atti 19:37 In-Context

35 Ma il segretario, avendo acquetata la turba, disse: Uomini di Efeso, chi è che non sappia che la città degli Efesini è la guardiana del tempio della gran Diana e dell’immagine caduta da Giove?
36 Essendo dunque queste cose fuor di contestazione, voi dovete acquetarvi e non far nulla di precipitato;
37 poiché avete menato qua questi uomini, i quali non sono né sacrileghi, né bestemmiatori della nostra dea.
38 Se dunque Demetrio e gli artigiani che son con lui hanno qualcosa contro qualcuno, ci sono i tribunali, e ci sono i proconsoli; si facciano citare gli uni e gli altri.
39 Se poi volete ottenere qualcosa intorno ad altri affari, la questione si risolverà in un’assemblea legale.
