 25whom having brought together, and those who wrought in such things, he said, Men, ye know that our well-living arises from this work,
 26and ye see and hear that this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great crowd, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying that they are no gods which are made with hands.

 31and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre.

 34But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great is Artemis of the Ephesians.
 35And the townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the image which fell down from heaven?
 36These things therefore being undeniable, it is necessary that ye should be calm and do nothing headlong.
 37For ye have brought these men, who are neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your goddess.
 38If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who are with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
 39But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
