Diaglott(i)
23 It happened and during the season that a tumult not small concerning the way.
24 Demetrius for a certain by name, a silver-smith, making temples of silver of Diana, brought to the workmen gain not a little.
25 Whom having brought together, and those about the such like workmen, said: Men, you know, that out of this the work the wealth of us is;
26 and you see and you hear, that not only of Ephesus, but almost all the Asia the Paul this having persuaded misled large crowd, saying, that not are gods those by hands being made.
27 Not only and this in danger to us the craft into contempt to come; but also that the great goddess Diana temple into nothing to be despised, to be about and also to be destroyed the magnificence of her, which whole the Asia and the habitable worships.
28 Having heard and, and having become full of wrath, they cried out, saying: Great the Diana of Ephesians.
29 And was filled the city whole the confusion; they rushed and with one mind into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus Macedonians, fellow-travelers of Paul.
30 The and Paul wishing to enter into the assembly of the people, not suffered him the disciples.
31 Some and even of the rulers of Asia being to him friends, having sent to him, besought not to venture himself into the theatre.
32 Some indeed therefore some thing cried; was for the assembly having been confused, and the greater not knew, for what purpose they were come together.

34 Knowing but that a Jew he is, voice came one from all, about for hours two crying: Great the Diana of Ephesians.
35 Having stilled and the scribe the crowd, he said: Men Ephesians, what for is man, who not knows the Ephesians city temple-keeper being of the great Diana and of that fallen from Jupiter?
36 Cannot be denied therefore being these things, necessary it is you having been quiet to be and nothing rashly to do.
37 You brought for the men these, neither temple-robbers, nor blasphemers of the goddess of you.
38 If indeed Demetrius and those with him workmen have against say a word, courts are held, and proconsuls are; let them accuse each other.
39 if but anything other things you inquire, in the lawful assembly it shall be settled.
40 Even for we are in danger to be accused of tumult concerning the day, not one cause being, about which we are able to give a reason far the gathering this.
41 And these having said he dismissed the assembly.
