Acts 19:38-40

Living Bible

³⁸ If Demetrius and the craftsmen have a case against them, the courts are currently in session and the judges can take the case at once. Let them go through legal channels. ³⁹ And if there are complaints about other matters, they can be settled at the regular City Council meetings; ⁴⁰ for we are in danger of being called to account by the Roman government for today’s riot, since there is no cause for it. And if Rome demands an explanation, I won’t know what to say.”
