  • Acts 19:23-41 : 23 And at that time, there arose no small commotion about the Way. 24 A certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen; 25 Whom he called together with the workmen of similar occupation, and said, Sirs, you know that by this trade we have our wealth. 26 Moreover, you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are not gods which are made with hands; 27 So that not only is this our craft in danger of being discredited, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana might be despised, and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship. 28 And when they heard this, they were full of wrath and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theater. 30 And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him. 31 And certain chiefs of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him, urging him not to adventure himself into the theater. 32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and most did not know why they had come together. 33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with the hand, and wanted to make his defense to the people. 34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 35 And when the town clerk had quieted the people, he said, Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the temple keeper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? 36 Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly. 37 For you have brought here these men, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess. 38 Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a complaint against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls; let them bring charges against one another. 39 But if you seek anything concerning other matters, it shall be settled in a lawful assembly. 40 For we are in danger of being called in question for today's uproar, there being no reason which we may give to account for this disturbance. 41 And when he had spoken these things, he dismissed the assembly.
