Acts 19:35-40

35AfterG1063 quietingG2687 the crowdG3793, the townG1122 clerkG1122 saidG5346, “MenG435 of 1EphesusG2181, whatG5101 manG444 is there afterG1063 allG1063 whoG3739 does not knowG1097 that the cityG4172 of the EphesiansG2180 is guardianG3511 of the templeG3511 of the greatG3173 2ArtemisG735 and of the image whichG1356 fellG1356 downG1356 from 3heavenG1356?

36SoG3767, since theseG3778 are undeniableG368 factsG368, you oughtG1189 to keepG2687 calmG2687 and to doG4238 nothingG3367 rashG4312.

37For you have broughtG71 theseG3778 menG435 here who are neitherG3777 4robbersG2417 of templesG2417 norG3777 blasphemersG987 of our goddessG2299.

38SoG3767 thenG3767, ifG1487 DemetriusG1216 and the craftsmenG5079 who are with him haveG2192 a complaintG3056 againstG4314 anyG5100 manG5100, the courtsG60 are in sessionG71 and 56proconsulsG446 are available; let them bringG1458 chargesG1458 againstG1458 oneG240 anotherG240.

39But ifG1487 you wantG1934 anythingG5100 beyondG4007 this, it shall be settledG1956 in the 7lawfulG1772 8assemblyG1577.

40For indeedG2532 we are in dangerG2793 of being accusedG1458 of a riotG4714 in connectionG4012 with today’sG4594 events, since there is noG3367 real causeG159 for it, and in thisG3739 connectionG4012 we will be unableG3756G1410 to accountG3056G591 for thisG3778 disorderlyG4963 gatheringG4963.”
