It is only in Act 17:9 that the word concerns us at present: And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go. The idiom is and is translation of the Latin satis accipere. Cf. in Mar 15:15, which occurs as early as polybius (J. H. Moulton, A. Grammar of NT Greek, vol. i., Prolegomena, 1908, p. 20 f.). It is natural to meet a Latin legal term in this Roman court; the politarchs of Thessalonica may even have used the Latin instead of the . The security demanded might be in the form either of money or of sponsors for good behaviour. It is not clear what is meant by saying that the politarchs let them go. It is uncertain also whether the security was for the good behaviour of Jason and the rest, for the production of St. Paul and Silas before the politarchs, or for the good behaviour of St. Paul and Silas (cf. R. J. Knowling, Expositors Greek Testament , Acts, 1900, in loco.). F. Blass (Acta Apostolorum, 1895, in loco) considers the phrase a commercial, not a legal, term. In any case, the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto BerCEa (Act 17:10). The haste and the cover of darkness indicate the urgency of the predicament, which concerned, apparently, the welfare not merely of St. Paul and Silas, but also of Jason and the rest, because of the security given to the politarchs. It is not open to make a charge of cowardice here against either Jason or St. Paul. It was a practical question of how to meet an emergency due to jealousy and prejudice.<\/p>\n

See Moulton, Proleg., p. 20. Probably the bond given to the authorities by Jason and his friends included an undertaking that Paul would not return to Thessalonica. Any efforts to have the bond cancelled were unsuccessful; hence the reference to the hindrance by Satan (1Th 2:18<\/span>).
