Acts 19:33-41

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. 35And the townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven? 36These things therefore being undeniable, it is necessary that ye should be calm and do nothing headlong. 37For ye have brought these men, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your 1goddess. 38If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who [are] with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another. 39But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly. 40For also we are in danger to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse. 41And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
