Acts 19:32-41 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused… is the model of a popular harangue. Such excitement was — I. UNDIGNIFIED, as they stood above all suspicion in religious matters (ver. 35, 36). II. UNJUSTIFIABLE, as they could establish nothing against the men (ver. 37). III. UNNECESSARY, as other means of redress were open to them (ver. 38, 39). IV. DANGEROUS; if neither pride nor justice availed anything, fear of the Roman power should restrain them (ver. 40). (W. Hackett.) Parallel Verses KJV: Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. |
