For you have brought here these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
All Commentaries on Acts 19:37 Go To Acts 19
John Chrysostom
AD 407
All this however he says to the people; but in order that those (workmen) also might become more reasonable, he says: Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsman which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another. But if you enquire anything concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause, for which (matter) we shall not be able to give an account for this concourse.
