Acts 19:39

37 For you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of¹ your goddess.

38 Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a¹ case against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another.

39 But if you have any other inquiry to make, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.

40 For we are in danger of being called in question for today’s uproar, there being no reason which we may give to account for this disorderly gathering.”

41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters - In which the safety of the state, or the national worship, is concerned, know that such a matter is not the business of the mob; it must be heard and determined in a lawful assembly, ͅ ͅ , one legally constituted, and properly authorized to hear and determine on the subject.
