Acts 19:35-41

35When the city clerk had calmed the crowd down, he said, “People of Ephesus! What person is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is the temple guardian of the great Artemis, and of the image that fell from heaven?

36Therefore, since these things are undeniable, you must keep calm and not do anything rash.

37For you have brought these men here who are not temple robbers or blasphemers of our goddess.

38So if Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a case against anyone, the courts are in session, and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another.

39But if you seek anything further, it must be decided in a legal assembly.

40In fact, we run a risk of being charged with rioting for what happened today, since there is no justification that we can give as a reason for this disturbance.”

41After saying this, he dismissed the assembly.
