24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought yno small gain unto the craftsmen; 25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. 26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at eEphesus, but almost throughout all uAsia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that zthey be no gods, which are made with hands: 27 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 ashould be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all hAsia and bthe world worshippeth. 28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 29 And the whole city was filled with iconfusion: and having ccaught dGaius and eAristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s fcompanions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. 30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the gdisciples suffered him not. 31 And certain of the chief of hAsia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre. 32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was iconfused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. 33 And they kdrew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And lAlexander mbeckoned with the hand, and would have nmade his defence unto the people. 34 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.
