Acts 19:29-34

29And the [whole] city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.

30But Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples suffered him not;

31and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre.

32Different persons therefore cried out some different thing; for the assembly was tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come together.

33But from among the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defence to the people.

34But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
