29AndG2532 the wholeG3650 cityG4172 was filledG4130 with confusionG4799: andG5037 having caughtG4884 GaiusG1050 andG2532 AristarchusG708, men of MacedoniaG3110, Paul’sG3972 companions in travelG4898, they rushedG3729 with one accordG3661 intoG1519 the theatreG2302. 30AndG1161 whenG1014 PaulG3972 wouldG1014 have enteredG1525 inG1519 to the peopleG1218, the disciplesG3101 permittedG1439 himG846 notG3756. 31AndG1161G2532 certainG5100 of the chief of AsiaG775, who wereG5607 hisG846 friendsG5384, sentG3992 toG4314 himG846, beseechingG3870 him that he wouldG1325 notG3361 ventureG1325 himselfG1438 intoG1519 the theatreG2302. 32SomeG243 thereforeG3767G3303 criedG2896 one thingG5100, and some anotherG243: forG1063 the assemblyG1577 wasG2258 confusedG4797; andG2532 the greater partG4119 knewG1492 notG3756 whyG5101G1752 they had come togetherG4905. 33AndG1161 they drewG4264 AlexanderG223 out ofG1537 the multitudeG3793, the JewsG2453 puttingG4261 himG846 forwardG4261. AndG1161 AlexanderG223 beckonedG2678 with the handG5495, and wouldG2309 have made his defenceG626 to the peopleG1218. 34ButG1161 when they knewG1921 thatG3754 he wasG2076 a JewG2453, allG3956G1096 withG1537 oneG3391 voiceG5456 aboutG5613 the spaceG1909 of twoG1417 hoursG5610 cried outG2896, GreatG3173 is DianaG735 of the EphesiansG2180. 35AndG1161 when the townclerkG1122 had quietedG2687 the peopleG3793, he saidG5346, Ye menG435 of EphesusG2180, whatG5101G1063 manG444 is thereG2076 thatG3739 knowethG1097 notG3756 that the cityG4172 of the EphesiansG2180 isG5607 a worshipperG3511 of the greatG3173 goddessG2299 DianaG735, andG2532 of the image which fell down from JupiterG1356?1 36SeeingG5607 thenG3767 that these thingsG5130 cannot be deniedG368, yeG5209 oughtG1163G2076 to beG5225 quietG2687, andG2532 to doG4238 nothingG3367 rashlyG4312. 37ForG1063 ye have brought hereG71 theseG5128 menG435, who are neitherG3777 robbers of templesG2417, nor yetG3777 blasphemersG987 of yourG5216 goddessG2299. 38ThereforeG3303G3767 ifG1487 DemetriusG1216, andG2532 the craftsmenG5079 who are withG4862 himG846, haveG2192 a matterG3056 againstG4314 any manG5100, the lawG60 is openG71, andG2532 there areG1526 deputiesG446: let them accuseG1458 one anotherG240.2 39ButG1161 ifG1487 ye enquireG1934 any thingG5100 concerningG4012 other mattersG2087, it shall be determinedG1956 inG1722 a lawfulG1772 assemblyG1577.3 40ForG1063G2532 we are in dangerG2793 to be called in questionG1458 forG4012 this day’sG4594 uproarG4714, there beingG5225 noG3367 causeG158 byG4012 whichG3739 we mayG1410 giveG591 an accountG3056 of thisG5026 riotous gatheringG4963.
