Acts 19:26-31

²⁶Moreover, ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away many people, saying, that they are no gods which are made with hands.

²⁷So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at naught; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia, and the world worshipeth.

²⁸And when they heard these sayings , they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

²⁹And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theater.

³⁰And when Paul would have entered in to the people, the disciples suffered him not.

³¹And certain of the chief of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theater.
