Rebellion against lawful authority. Government officials in Persia's province headquartered in Samaria accused the Jews in Jerusalem of a history of rebellion as evidence against allowing Jerusalem and its Temple to be rebuilt (Ezra 4:15 ). Barabbas had been imprisoned for sedition (Luke 23:19 ). See Acts 24:5 ). KJV used “seditions” in Galatians 5:20 for one of the works of the flesh, but modern translations are more accurate in using “dissensions.” Relationships among believers rather than to governments is the apparent meaning.
