And when they had taken security of Jason<\/em> ] i.e. having made him responsible either by his finding securities to be bound with and for him, or by making him give some deposit as a pledge for his good conduct, they took measures for securing, so far as those at present in custody were concerned, that they should commit no treason.<\/p>\n and of the other] Other<\/em> is often found in old English as a plural. Cp. Bp. Pilkington’s Works<\/em> (Parker Soc.), p. 7: “Phinees punished that wickedness which other<\/em> winked at.”<\/p>\n And when they had taken security of Jason – <\/B>This is an expression taken from courts, and means that Jason and the other gave satisfaction to the magistrates for the good conduct of Paul and Silas, or became responsible for it. Whether it was by depositing a sum of money, and by thus giving bail, is not quite clear. The sense is, that they did it in accordance with the Roman usages, and gave sufficient security for the good conduct of Paul and Silas. Heuman supposes that the pledge given was that they should leave the city. Michaelis thinks that they gave a pledge that they would no more harbor them; but if they returned again to them, they would deliver them to the magistrates.<\/P> And of the other – <\/B>The other brethren Act 17:6<\/span> who had been drawn to the rulers of the city.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 9<\/span>.

Perhaps this is the sense of the phrase in the text.<\/P><\/p>\n Had taken security; <\/B>either being satisfied with their answer, or having bail for their appearance, if need were; the word only hinting their being satisfied, or contented, as Mar 15:15<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n 9.

That is, received satisfaction from them, by the defence which they made for themselves, and the apostles, by the account that they gave of them and of their doctrines; whereby it plainly appeared to the full satisfaction of the magistrates, that their principles had no tendency to move sedition, or to alter the form of their government, or to do anything detrimental to Caesar, as was suggested: the Syriac, and Arabic versions render it, “took sureties”; of them for their good behaviour, and that they would be forthcoming, whenever called for:<\/p>\n they let them go<\/strong>; about their business, to their own houses, and company, and did not inflict any punishment upon them, or commit them to prison.<\/p>\n When they had taken security <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>). A Greek idiom=Latin satis accipere<\/I>, to receive the sufficient (bond), usually money for the fulfilment of the judgment. Probably the demand was made of Jason that he see to it that Paul and Silas leave the city not to return. In 1Th 2:17f<\/span>. Paul may refer to this in mentioning his inability to visit these Thessalonians again. The idiom <\/SPAN><\/span> now is found in two inscriptions of the second century A.D. (O. G. I. S. 484, 50 and 629, 101). In Vol. III Oxyrhynchus Papyri no. 294 A.D. 22 the corresponding phrase <\/SPAN><\/span> (“to give security”) appears.<\/P> They let them go <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>).

It is clear from 1Th. 1:6<\/span>; 1Th. 2:14<\/span>, that St. Paul and Silas were not the only sufferers. The Gentile converts were exposed alike to the violence of their own countrymen and to the malice of the Jews. How anxious he was to visit and comfort them is seen from the fact that he made two attempts to return, before or during his stay at Corinth (1Th. 2:18<\/span>).<\/p>\n 9<\/strong>. <\/strong> Taken security<\/strong> The security <\/strong> was probably a pledge or bail of money, forfeitable if any disturbance occurred. And as the Jews could raise the needed disturbance whenever the apostle again attempted to preach, it was clear that his operations in Thessalonica were at an end. This SECOND EUROPEAN CHURCH has had a distinguished history during the Christian ages.<\/p>\n For centuries Thessalonica was the bulwark against the Turkish assaults, and the lamp whence went forth a Christianizing light over the northern barbarians. The eminence of her bishops, her Christian literature, and her theological science, acquired her the title of “The Orthodox City.”<\/p>\n 9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 9.

The words have been explained as meaning that securities were given for the production of the Apostles, and that thus Jason and his friend, by sending them off at night, ran a risk of their lives (Chrys., Grotius), or that the Apostles should not be sheltered any longer, or that they should be obliged to depart at once.

Better, of Jason and of the rest, the rest including those other believers who had been arrested at the time of the tumult. The security was most probably a sum of money deposited by Jason, who appears to have been a person of substance, as were very likely some of the others; for these converts among the early Christians in these great Grecian cities were by no means all drawn from the poorer classes. The purpose of this security was to assure the magistrates that there should be nothing done by these eastern strangers contrary to the decrees of Csar.<\/p>\n See notes on verse 5<\/p>\n Verse 9 <\/p>\n Taken security; made a satisfactory arrangement, in some way, for insuring the termination of the difficulty.<\/p>\n 17:9 And when they had taken {c} security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.<\/p>\n (c) When Jason had put them in good assurance that they would appear.<\/p>\n And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go. 9.
