Acts 19:23-41

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.

30AndG1161 when PaulG3972 wouldG1014 have entered inG1525 untoG1519 the peopleG3588G1218, the disciplesG3588G3101 sufferedG1439 himG846 notG3756.

31AndG1161 certainG5100 of the chief of AsiaG3588G775, which wereG1510 hisG846 friendsG5384, sentG3992 untoG4314 himG846, desiringG3870 him that he wouldG1325 notG3361 adventureG1325 himselfG1438 intoG1519 the theatreG3588G2302.

32SomeG243 thereforeG3767 cried one thingG2896, andG3303 someG243 anotherG5100: forG1063 the assemblyG3588G1577 wasG1510 confusedG4797; andG2532 the more partG4119 knewG1492 notG3756 whereforeG1752 they were come togetherG4905.

33AndG1161 they drewG4264 AlexanderG223 out ofG1537 the multitudeG3588G3793, the JewsG3588G2453 puttingG4261 himG846 forwardG4261. AndG1161 AlexanderG3588G223 beckonedG2678 with the handG3588G5495, and would haveG2309 made his defenceG626 unto the peopleG3588G1218.

34But whenG1161 they knewG1921 thatG3754 he wasG1510 a JewG2453, allG3956 withG1096 oneG1520 voiceG5456 about the spaceG5613 ofG1909 twoG1417 hoursG5610 criedG2896 outG1537, GreatG3173 is DianaG3588G735 of the EphesiansG2180.

35AndG1161 when the townclerkG3588G1122 had appeasedG2687 the peopleG3588G3793, he saidG5346, Ye menG435 of EphesusG2180, whatG5101 manG444 is thereG1510 thatG3739 knowethG1097 notG3756 how that the cityG3588G4172 of the EphesiansG2180 isG1510 a worshipperG3511 of the greatG3588G3173 goddessG2299 DianaG735, andG2532 of theG3588G1356 image which fell down from JupiterG3588G1356?

36SeeingG1510 then thatG3767 these thingsG3778 cannot be spoken againstG368, yeG4771 oughtG1163 to beG5225 quietG2687, andG2532 to doG4238 nothingG3367 rashlyG4312.

37ForG1063 ye have brought hitherG71 theseG3778 menG435, which areG3588 neitherG3777 robbers of templesG2417, nor yetG3777 blasphemersG987 of yourG4771 goddessG3588G2299.

38WhereforeG3767 ifG1487 DemetriusG1216, andG2532 the craftsmenG5079 which areG3588 withG4862 himG846, haveG2192 a matterG3056 againstG4314 any manG5100, the lawG60 is openG71, andG2532 there areG1510 deputiesG446: let them impleadG1458 one anotherG240.

39ButG1161 ifG1487 ye enquireG1934 any thingG5100 concerningG4012 other mattersG2087, it shall be determinedG1956 inG1722 a lawfulG1772 assemblyG1577.

40ForG1063 we are in dangerG2793 to be called in questionG1458 forG4012 this day’sG4594 uproarG4714, there beingG5225 noG3367 cause wherebyG159 we mayG1410 giveG591 an accountG3056 ofG4012 thisG3778 concourseG3588G4963.

41AndG2532 when he hadG3004 thusG3778 spokenG3004, he dismissedG630 the assemblyG3588G1577.
