Acts 18:13

13 dicentes quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum

Acts 18:13 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 18:13

Saying, this fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary
to the law.
] Meaning either to the law of the Romans, which forbad the bringing in of any new gods, without the leave of the senate; (See Gill on Acts 16:21); or rather to the law of Moses: the Arabic version reads, "our law"; though this was false, for Moses in his law wrote of Christ, and ordered the children of Israel to hearken to him.

Acts 18:13 In-Context

11 sedit autem annum et sex menses docens apud eos verbum Dei

12 Gallione autem proconsule Achaiae insurrexerunt uno animo Iudaei in Paulum et adduxerunt eum ad tribunal

13 dicentes quia contra legem hic persuadet hominibus colere Deum

14 incipiente autem Paulo aperire os dixit Gallio ad Iudaeos si quidem esset iniquum aliquid aut facinus pessimum o viri iudaei recte vos sustinerem

15 si vero quaestiones sunt de verbo et nominibus et legis vestrae vos ipsi videritis iudex ego horum nolo esse
