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.
