This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

41. ἀπέλυσεν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν, he dismissed the assembly. This he could do in his official capacity. Probably the last argument which he used would have most weight with his audience. If such riotous conduct were reported at Rome it might lead to a curtailment of the privileges of their city.

Chrysostom remarks: οὕτως ἔσβεσε τὸν θυμόν. ὥσπερ γὰρ ῥᾳδίως ἐξάπτεται, οὕτω καὶ ῥᾳδίως σβέννυται.
