Acts 19:39

Context
19:39 But if you want anything in addition, 1  it will have to be settled 2  in a legal assembly. 3 

Acts 26:32

Context
26:32 Agrippa 4  said to Festus, 5  “This man could have been released 6  if he had not appealed to Caesar.” 7 

1 tn Or “anything more than this.”

2 tn Or “resolved.”

3 tn Or “in a legal meeting of the citizens.” L&N 30.81 has “ἐν τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐπιλυθήσεται ‘it will have to be settled in a legal meeting of the citizens’ Ac 19:39.” This meeting took place three times a year.

4 sn See the note on King Agrippa in 25:13.

5 sn See the note on Porcius Festus in 24:27.

6 tn Or “set free.”

7 tn Or “to the emperor” (“Caesar” is a title for the Roman emperor).

sn If he had not appealed to Caesar. Ultimately Agrippa and Festus blamed what Paul himself had done in appealing to Caesar for his own continued custody. In terms of Luke’s narrative, this still appears unjust and a denial of responsibility.
