Acts 19:24for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the artificers gain not a little,Acts 19:25whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who did work about such things, he said, ‘Men, ye know that by this work we have our wealth;Acts 19:26and ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, did turn away a great multitude, saying, that they are not gods who are made by hands;Acts 19:27and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world doth worship.’Acts 19:28And they having heard, and having become full of wrath, were crying out, saying, ‘Great is the Artemis of the Ephesians!’Acts 19:29and the whole city was filled with confusion, they rushed also with one accord into the theatre, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s fellow-travellers.Acts 19:30And on Paul’s purposing to enter in unto the populace, the disciples were not suffering him,Acts 19:31and certain also of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent unto him, were entreating him not to venture himself into the theatre.Acts 19:32Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they were come together;Acts 19:33and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander—the Jews thrusting him forward—and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defence to the populace,Acts 19:34and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, ‘Great is the Artemis of the Ephesians!’Acts 19:35And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, saith, ‘Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is a devotee of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus?Acts 19:36these things, then, not being to be gainsaid, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.Acts 19:37‘For ye brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor speaking evil of your goddess;Acts 19:38if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the artificers with him with any one have a matter, court days are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another.3 John 1:12to Demetrius testimony hath been given by all, and by the truth itself, and we also—we do testify, and ye have known that our testimony is true.
