Acts 19:23-28

23And about that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.

24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines of Diana, brought no little business unto the craftsmen;

25whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this business we have our wealth.

26And ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:

27and not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana be made of no account, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

28And when they heard this, they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
