Acts 19:30-36

³⁰And when Paul would haue entred in vnto the people, the disciples suffred him not.

³¹Certaine also of the chiefe of Asia which were his friendes, sent vnto him, desiring him that hee woulde not present him selfe in the Common place.

³²Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assemblie was out of order, and the more part knewe not wherefore they were come together.

³³And some of the company drew foorth Alexander, the Iewes thrusting him forwards. Alexander then beckened with the hande, and woulde haue excused the matter to the people.

³⁴But when they knew that he was a Iewe, there arose a shoute almost for the space of two houres, of all men crying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

³⁵Then the towne clearke when hee had stayed the people, saide, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is it that knoweth not howe that the citie of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddesse Diana, and of the image, which came downe from Iupiter?

³⁶Seeing then that no man can speake against these things, ye ought to be appeased, and to doe nothing rashly.
