MLV(i)
23 Now it happened at that time there was not just a small disturbance concerning the Way.
24 For a certain man, Demetrius by name, (a silversmith making miniature silver temples of Artemis), was providing not just a small business to the craftsmen;
25 whom he accumulated together the other workers of such things and said, Men, you know our prosperity is from this business.
26 And you view and hear, that not only from Ephesus, but almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and seduced a considerable crowd, saying that they are not gods, those born through man’s hands.
27 But not only is this part for us in peril and it is to go into disrepute but also the temple of the great goddess Artemis is to be counted as nothing and her majesty is about to be demolished, what the whole of Asia and inhabited-earth is worshiping.
28 Now having heard this, and having become full of fury, they were crying out, saying, Great is Artemis of Ephesus. 29 And the whole city was filled with confusion and they rushed united into the theater, having seized Paul’s fellow traveling-associates, Gaius and Aristarchus, who were Macedonians.
