Acts 17:7 - Exposition

Act for do, A.V. Received ; i.e. as the word ὑποδέχομαι always means "received as a guest" ( Luke 10:38 ; Luke 19:6 ; James 2:25 , etc.). Hence the substantive ὑποδοχή , an entertainment or reception. The insinuation is that, by harboring these seditious men, Jason had made himself a partner in their sedition. That there is another king, etc. (comp. John 19:12 , John 19:15 ).
