* Moreover ye see (5719 ) and hear (5719 ), that not alone at Ephesus , but almost throughout all Asia , this Paul hath persuaded (5660 ) and turned away (5656 ) much people , saying (5723 ) that they be (5748 ) no gods , which are made (5740 ) with hands : * So that not only this our craft is in danger (5719 ) to be set (5629 ) at nought ; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised (5683 ), and her magnificence should (5721 ) be destroyed (5745 ), whom all Asia and the world worshippeth (5736 ). * And when they heard (5660 ) these sayings , they were (5637 ) full of wrath , and cried out (5707 ), saying (5723 ), Great is Diana of the Ephesians . * And the whole city was filled (5681 ) with confusion : and having caught (5660 ) Gaius and Aristarchus , men of Macedonia , Pauls companions in travel , they rushed (5656 ) with one accord into the theatre . * And when Paul would (5740 ) have entered (5629 ) in unto the people , the disciples suffered (5707 ) him not . * And certain of the chief of Asia , which were (5752 ) his friends , sent (5660 ) unto him , desiring (5707 ) him that he would not adventure (5629 ) himself into the theatre . * Some therefore cried (5707 ) one thing , and some another : for the assembly was (5713 ) confused (5772 ); and the more part knew (5715 ) not wherefore they were come together (5715 ). * And they drew (5656 ) Alexander out of the multitude , the Jews putting him forward (5660 ) (5625 ) (5723 ). And Alexander beckoned (5660 ) with the hand , and would (5707 ) have made his defence (5738 ) unto the people . * But when they knew (5631 ) that he was (5748 ) a Jew , all (5633 ) with one voice about the space of two hours cried out (5723 ), Great is Diana of the Ephesians . * And when the townclerk had appeased (5660 ) the people , he said (5748 ), Ye men of Ephesus , what man is there (5748 ) that knoweth (5719 ) not how that the city of the Ephesians is (5752 ) a worshipper of the great goddess Diana , and of the image which fell down from Jupiter ?
