and
having
sent to

ministering
to
him --
Timotheus and Erastus --
he himself stayed a
time
in Asia.
So
he
sent into
Macedonia two of them
that
ministered
unto
him ,
Timotheus and Erastus ;
but
he himself stayed in Asia for
a
season
.
And there
came,
at
that
time ,
not
a
little
stir about the
way ,
And the
same
time there
arose
no
small
stir about that
way .
for a certain one,
Demetrius by
name
, a worker
in
silver
, making
silver sanctuaries
of
Artemis
, was
bringing
to
the
artificers
gain not
a
little,
For a certain man
named
Demetrius, a silversmith
, which
made
silver shrines
for
Diana
, brought
no
small
gain unto
the
craftsmen;
whom ,
having
brought
in
a
crowd
together, and those
who
did
work
about
such
things,
he
said, `Men
, ye know that by this work
we have our wealth ;
Whom he
called
together with
the
workmen
of
like
occupation
, and said, Sirs
, ye know that by this craft
we have our wealth .
and
ye see and hear, that not only
at Ephesus, but almost in
all Asia, this Paul ,
having
persuaded ,
did
turn
away a
great
multitude
, saying ,
that they are
not
gods who
are made by
hands ;
Moreover
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 :
and
not only is
this department
in danger for
us
of
coming
into
disregard,
but also ,
that of the great goddess Artemis
the
temple
is
to
be reckoned
for
nothing
, and also
her greatness
is
about
to
be brought
down
, whom all Asia and the world doth
worship
. '
So
that
not only this our
craft
is
in danger to
be
set
at
nought;
but also that the
temple
of the great goddess Diana
should
be despised
, and her magnificence
should
be destroyed
, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth
.
And they having
heard, and
having
become
full of wrath, were
crying
out, saying, `
Great `
is '
the
Artemis
of the Ephesians !'
And when
they heard these
sayings
, they
were
full of wrath, and
cried
out, saying, Great is Diana
of the Ephesians .
and the whole city was filled with confusion, they rushed also
with one accord into the theatre ,
having
caught
Gaius
and
Aristarchus,
Macedonians,
Paul's
fellow-travellers
.
And the whole city was filled with confusion :
and
having
caught
Gaius
and
Aristarchus
, men
of
Macedonia,
Paul's
companions
in
travel,
they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
And on
Paul's
purposing
to
enter
in unto the populace
, the disciples were
not
suffering
him ,
And when
Paul
would
have
entered
in unto the people
, the disciples suffered
him not.
and certain also
of the chief men
of Asia, being
his friends, having
sent unto him, were
entreating
him not to
venture
himself into the theatre.
And certain of the chief of Asia, which
were
his friends, sent unto him, desiring
him that
he
would
not adventure
himself into the theatre.
Some indeed,
therefore ,
were
calling
out
one thing, and some another ,
for the assembly was confused ,
and the greater
part did
not know
for
what
they were come together ;
Some therefore cried
one thing, and some another :
for the assembly was confused :
and the more
part knew
not wherefore
they were come together .
and out of the multitude they
put
forward
Alexander
--
the Jews thrusting
him forward --
and Alexander having
beckoned with the hand, wished
to
make
defence to
the populace,
And they
drew
Alexander
out of the multitude ,
the Jews putting
him forward .
And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and
would
have
made
his
defence unto
the people.
and
having
known
that he is
a Jew, one voice came
out
of
all,
for
about two hours ,
crying
, `
Great `
is '
the
Artemis
of the Ephesians !'
But
when
they
knew
that he was
a Jew, all
with
one voice about the
space
of
two hours cried
out
, Great is Diana
of the Ephesians .
And the public
clerk
having
quieted
the multitude
, saith
, `
Men ,
Ephesians,
why
, who
is
the
man that doth
not know
that the city of the Ephesians is a devotee
of the great goddess Artemis
, and of that
which fell down from Zeus
?
And when
the townclerk
had
appeased
the people
, he
said
, Ye
men of
Ephesus
, what
man is
there
that knoweth
not how
that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper
of the great goddess Diana
, and of the
image
which fell down from Jupiter
?
these things ,
then,
not
being
to
be gainsaid
, it
is
necessary
for
you
to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Seeing
then
that
these things cannot
be spoken
against
, ye
ought
to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
`
For ye brought these men, who
are neither temple-
robbers nor speaking
evil
of your goddess ;
For ye have
brought hither
these men, which
are neither robbers of
churches,
nor yet
blasphemers
of your goddess .
if indeed,
therefore,
Demetrius and the artificers
with him with
any
one
have a matter, court
`days'
are
held
, and there are proconsuls;
let them accuse
one another.
Wherefore
if Demetrius ,
and the craftsmen
which
are
with him ,
have a matter against
any
man
, the
law
is
open
, and there are deputies:
let them implead
one another.
`And
if ye seek
after
anything
concerning other matters, in
the
legal
assembly
it shall be determined ;
But
if ye enquire
any
thing
concerning other matters, it shall be determined in
a
lawful
assembly.
for we are also
in peril
of
being
accused
of
insurrection
in
regard
to this day
, there being no occasion
by
which
we shall
be
able
to
give an account of this concourse ;'
For we are in danger
to be
called
in
question
for
this day's
uproar
, there being no cause
whereby
we may
give an account of this concourse .
and these
things
having
said
, he dismissed the assembly.
And when
he
had
thus
spoken
, he dismissed the assembly.
