Acts 19:39

Verse 39. But if ye enquire. If you seek to determine any other matters than that pertaining to the alleged wrong which Demetrius has suffered in his business. Other matters. Anything respecting public affairs; anything pertaining to the government and the worship of Diana. In a lawful assembly. In an assembly convened, not by tumult and riot, but in conformity to law. This was a tumultuous assemblage, and it was proper in the public officer to demand that they should disperse; and that, if there were any public grievances to be remedied, it should be done in an assembly properly convened.
