Alexander motioned with his hand and wanted to make a defense to the assembly. 34 But when the crowd realized he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison for about two hours, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" 35 When the city clerk had calmed the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image that fell from heaven? 36 Since these things are undeniable, you ought to remain calm and do nothing rash. 37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of your goddess. 38 If Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a grievance against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another. 39 But if you seek anything beyond this, it must be decided in a lawful assembly. 40 For we are in danger of being charged with rioting over today’s events, since there is no cause that we can give to justify this commotion." Having said this, he dismissed the assembly.
