Acts:19:32-39

*
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 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 .
*
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 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 ?
*
Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against ,
ye ought to be quiet ,
and to do nothing rashly .
*
For ye have brought hither these men ,
which are neither robbers of churches ,
nor yet blasphemers of your goddess .
*
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 .
*
But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters ,
it shall be determined in a lawful assembly .
