Acts 19:24-28
24For a manG5100 namedG3686 DemetriusG1216, a silversmithG695, who madeG4160 silverG693 shrinesG3485 of 1ArtemisG735, 2was bringingG3930 noG3756 littleG3641 3businessG2039 to the craftsmenG5079; 25theseG3739 he gatheredG4867 togetherG4867 with the workmenG2040 of similarG5108 trades, and saidG3004, “MenG435, you knowG1987 that our prosperityG2142 4dependsG1510G1537 upon thisG3778 businessG2039. 26You seeG2334 and hearG191 that not onlyG3440 in 5EphesusG2181, but in almostG4975 allG3956 of 67AsiaG773, thisG3778 PaulG3972 has persuadedG3982 and turnedG3179 awayG3179 a considerableG2425 numberG3793 of peopleG3793, sayingG3004 that 89gods madeG1096 with handsG5495 are noG3756 godsG2316 at all. 27Not onlyG3440 is there dangerG2793 that thisG3778 tradeG3313 of oursG1473 fallG2064 into disreputeG557, but alsoG2532 that the templeG2413 of the greatG3173 goddessG2299 10ArtemisG735 be regardedG3049 as worthlessG3762 and that she whomG3739 allG3650 of 1112AsiaG773 and 13the 14worldG3625 worshipG4576 will evenG2532 be dethronedG2507 from her magnificenceG3168.”
28When they heardG191 this and were filledG4134 with rageG2372, they began cryingG2896 out, sayingG3004, “GreatG3173 is 15ArtemisG735 of the 16EphesiansG2180!”
