Acts 19:23-29

Living_Oracles(i) 23 And there happened, about that time, no small tumult concerning that way. 24 For a man whose name was Demetrius, a silversmith, by making silver shrines of Diana, procured no small gain to the artificers: 25 whom he gathered together, with the workmen employed about the business, and said, Men, you know that our maintenance arises from this manufacture; 26 and you see and hear that this Paul has persuaded great numbers of people, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, and has turned them aside, saying that they are not deities which are made with hands; 27 so that there is danger, not only that this occupation of ours should be depreciated, but also that the people of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her grandeur destroyed; whom all Asia and the world worship. 28 And hearing this, they were filled with rage; and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians! 29 And the whole city was filled with confusion; and they rushed with one accord into the theater, dragging thither Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's fellow-travelers.
