19:35After the city secretary130 quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, what person131 is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is the keeper132 of the temple of the great Artemis133 and of her image that fell from heaven?134
Footnotes
- 130 Or “clerk.” The “scribe” (γραμματεύς, grammateus) was the keeper of the city’s records.
- 131 This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos).
- 132 See νεωκόρος. The city is described as the “warden” or “guardian” of the goddess and her temple.
- 133 Artemis was a Greek goddess worshiped particularly in Asia Minor, whose temple, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, was located just outside the city of Ephesus.
- 134 Or “from the sky” (the same Greek word means both “heaven” and “sky”). The expression fell from heaven adds a note of apologetic about the heavenly origin of the goddess. The city’s identity and well-being was wrapped up with this connection, in their view. Many interpreters view her image that fell from heaven as a stone meteorite regarded as a sacred object.
