Acts 19:29-40
29And the cityG4172 was filledG4130 with the confusion: and they rushedG3729 with oneG3661 accordG3661 into the theatre, having seized GaiusG1050 and AristarchusG708, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel. 30And when PaulG3972 was minded to enterG1525 in unto the people, the disciplesG3101 suffered him not. 31And certainG5100 alsoG2532 of the Asiarchs, beingG1510 his friendsG5384, sentG3992 unto him and besought him not to adventure himself into the theatre. 32Some thereforeG3767 criedG2896 oneG5100 thing, and some another: for the assemblyG1577 wasG1510 in confusion; and the moreG4183 part knew not wherefore they wereG1510 come togetherG4905. 33And they brought AlexanderG223 out of the multitudeG3793, the JewsG2453 putting him forward. And AlexanderG223 beckoned with the handG5495, and would have made a defence unto the peopleG3793. 34But whenG5613 they perceived that he wasG1510 a JewG2453, all with oneG1520 voiceG5456 about the space of twoG1417 hoursG5610 criedG2896 out, GreatG3173 isG1510 Diana of the EphesiansG2180. 35And when the townclerk had quieted the multitudeG3793, he saith, Ye menG444 of Ephesus, what manG444 isG1510 there who knoweth not that the cityG4172 of the EphesiansG2180 isG1510 temple-keeper of the greatG3173 Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? 36Seeing then that these thingsG3778 cannot beG1510 gainsaid, ye oughtG1163 to beG1510 quiet, and to do nothingG3367 rash. 37For ye have broughtG71 hither these menG435, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess. 38If thereforeG3767 DemetriusG1216, and the craftsmenG5079 that areG1510 with him, have a matterG3056 against any man, the courts areG1510 open, and there areG1510 proconsulsG446: let them accuse oneG240 another. 39But if ye seekG1934 anythingG5100 about otherG2087 matters, it shall be settled in the regular assemblyG1577. 40For indeed we are in dangerG2793 to be accused concerningG4012 this day’s riot, there being no cause for it: and as touching it we shall not be ableG1410 to giveG591 accountG3056 of this concourse.
