Acts:19:23-29
Seeker Overlay ON
*
About that time there arose no little stir concerning the Way .
*
For a man named Deme '
trius ,
a silversmith ,
who made silver shrines of Ar '
temis ,
brought no little business to the craftsmen .
*
These he gathered together ,
with the workmen of like occupation ,
and said , "
Men ,
you know that from this business we have our wealth .
*
And you see and hear that not only at Ephesus but almost throughout all Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable company of people ,
saying that gods made with hands are not gods .
*
And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the great goddess Ar '
temis may count for nothing ,
and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence ,
she whom all Asia and the world worship ."
*
When they heard this they were enraged ,
and cried out , "
Great is Ar '
temis of the Ephesians !"
*
So the city was filled with the confusion ;
and they rushed together into the theater ,
dragging with them Ga '
ius and Aristar '
chus ,
Macedo '
nians who were Paul '
s companions in travel .
