Acts 19:29-34

29The city was filled with the uproar, and the crowd rushed to the theater together, dragging with them Gaius and Aristarchus, the Macedonians who were Paul’s traveling companions.

30But when Paul wanted to enter the public assembly, the disciples would not let him.

31Even some of the provincial authorities who were his friends sent a message to him, urging him not to venture into the theater.

32So then some were shouting one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had met together.

33Some of the crowd concluded it was about Alexander because the Jews had pushed him to the front. Alexander, gesturing with his hand, was wanting to make a defense before the public assembly.

34But when they recognized that he was a Jew, they all shouted in unison, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” for about two hours.
