Acts 19:22-41

22And having sentG649 into MacedoniaG3109 twoG1417 of those ministeringG1247 to him, Timotheus and ErastusG2037, he remained himself awhile in AsiaG773. 23And there took placeG1096 at that timeG2540 no smallG3641 disturbanceG5017 about the wayG3598. 24For a certainG5100 [man] by nameG3686 DemetriusG1216, a silver-beater, makingG4160 silverG693 templesG3485 of ArtemisG735, broughtG3930 no smallG3641 gain to the artisans; 25whom having brought togetherG4867, and those who wrought in suchG5108 thingsG3778, he saidG3004, MenG435, ye knowG1987 that our well-living arises from this work, 26and ye seeG2334 and hearG191 that this PaulG3972 has persuadedG3982 and turned away a great crowdG3793, not onlyG3440 of EphesusG2181, but almostG4975 of all AsiaG773, sayingG3004 that they areG1510 no 1godsG2316 which areG1510 made with handsG5495. 27NowG1161 not onlyG3440 there is dangerG2793 for us that our business comeG2064 into discredit, but alsoG2532 that the temple of the greatG3173 2goddess ArtemisG735 be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the wholeG3650 of AsiaG773 and the worldG3625 reveres. 28And having heardG191 [this], and being filled with rageG2372, they criedG2896 out, sayingG3004, GreatG3173 [is] ArtemisG735 of the EphesiansG2180. 29And the [whole] cityG4172 was filledG4130 with confusion, and they rushedG3729 with oneG3661 accordG3661 to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] GaiusG1050 and AristarchusG708, MacedoniansG3110, fellow-travellers of PaulG3972. 30But PaulG3972 intendingG1014 to goG1525 in to the people, the disciplesG3101 suffered him not; 31and some of the Asiarchs alsoG2532, who wereG1510 his friendsG5384, sentG3992 to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre. 32Different persons thereforeG3767 criedG2896 out some different thing; for the assemblyG1577 wasG1510 tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come togetherG4905. 33But from among the crowdG3793 they put forward AlexanderG223, the JewsG2453 pushing him forward. And AlexanderG223, beckoning with his handG5495, would have made a defence to the peopleG3793. 34But, recognising that he wasG1510 a JewG2453, there wasG1510 oneG1520 cryG2896 from all, shouting for about twoG1417 hoursG5610, GreatG3173 [isG1510] ArtemisG735 of the EphesiansG2180. 35And the townclerk, having quieted the crowdG3793, saidG5346, EphesiansG2180, what manG444 isG1510 there then who does not knowG1097 that the cityG4172 of the EphesiansG2180 isG1510 temple-keeper of ArtemisG735 the greatG3173, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven? 36These thingsG3778 thereforeG3767 beingG1510 undeniable, it isG1510 necessaryG1163 that ye should beG1510 calm and do nothingG3367 headlong. 37For ye have broughtG71 these menG435, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your 3goddess. 38If thereforeG3767 DemetriusG1216 and the artisans who [areG1510] with him have a matterG3056 against any oneG240, the courts areG1510 beingG1510 heldG2192, and there areG1510 proconsulsG446: let them accuse oneG240 another. 39But if ye inquire anythingG5100 concerningG4012 otherG2087 matters, it will be settled in the regular assemblyG1577. 40For alsoG2532 we are in dangerG2793 to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be ableG1410 to giveG591 a reason for this concourse. 41And having saidG3004 these thingsG3778, he dismissedG630 the assemblyG1577.
