Acts 19:23-29

23AndG1161 the sameG1565 timeG3588G2540 there aroseG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 stirG5017 aboutG4012 that wayG3588G3598.

24ForG1063 a certainG5100 man namedG3686 DemetriusG1216, a silversmithG695, which madeG4160 silverG693 shrinesG3485 for DianaG735, broughtG3930 noG3756 smallG3641 gainG2039 unto the craftsmenG3588G5079;

25WhomG3739 he called togetherG4867 withG2532 the workmenG2040 ofG4012 like occupationG5108, and saidG3004, SirsG435, ye knowG1987 thatG3754 byG1537 thisG3778 craftG3588G2039 we haveG1510 ourG1473 wealthG3588G2142.

26MoreoverG2532 ye seeG2334 andG2532 hearG191, thatG3754 notG3756 aloneG3440 at EphesusG2181, butG235 almostG4975 throughoutG1223 allG3956 AsiaG3588G773, thisG3778 PaulG3588G3972 hath persuadedG3982 and turned awayG3179 muchG2425 peopleG3793, sayingG3004 thatG3754 they beG1510 noG3756 godsG2316, whichG3588 are madeG1096 with handsG5495:

27So thatG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 thisG3778 ourG1473 craftG3588G3313 is in dangerG2793 toG1519 be setG2064 at noughtG557; butG235 alsoG2532 that theG3588 templeG2411 of the greatG3588G3173 goddessG2299 DianaG735 should beG3195 despisedG3049, andG2532 herG846 magnificenceG3588G3168 should be destroyedG2507, whomG3739 allG3650 AsiaG3588G773 andG2532 the worldG3588G3625 worshippethG4576.

28AndG1161 when they heardG191 these sayings, they wereG1096 fullG4134 of wrathG2372, andG2532 cried outG2896, sayingG3004, GreatG3173 is DianaG3588G735 of the EphesiansG2180.

29AndG2532 the wholeG3650 cityG3588G4172 was filledG4130 with confusionG4799: andG5037 having caughtG4884 GaiusG1050 andG2532 AristarchusG708, men of MacedoniaG3110, Paul’sG3588G3972 companions in travelG4898, they rushedG3729 with one accordG3661 intoG1519 the theatreG3588G2302.
