* 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 ? * Seeing (5752 ) then that these things cannot be spoken against , ye ought (5752 ) (5748 ) to be (5721 ) quiet (5772 ), and to do (5721 ) nothing rashly . * For ye have brought hither (5627 ) these men , which are neither robbers of churches , nor yet blasphemers (5723 ) of your goddess . * Wherefore if Demetrius , and the craftsmen which are with him , have (5719 ) a matter against any man , the law is open (5743 ), and there are (5748 ) deputies : let them implead (5720 ) one another . * But if ye enquire (5719 ) any thing concerning other matters , it shall be determined (5701 ) in a lawful assembly . * For we are in danger (5719 ) to be called in question (5745 ) for this days uproar , there being (5723 ) no cause whereby we may (5695 ) give (5629 ) an account of this concourse . * And when he had thus spoken (5631 ), he dismissed (5656 ) the assembly .
