Acts 19:32-37

³²Some were shouting one thing, and some something else, for the crowd that had gathered was in total confusion—most of them had no idea why they were there.

³³The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander to the front. Alexander motioned with his hand for them to be quiet, wanting to explain things to the people.

³⁴But when they realized he was a Jew, they all took up a chant that lasted for about two hours, shouting “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

³⁵After the town clerk had managed to quiet the mob down, he told them, “People of Ephesus, who doesn't know that the city of the Ephesians is the guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image that fell from heaven?

³⁶Since these facts can't be denied, you should stay calm—don't do anything rash.

³⁷You have brought these men here, but they haven't robbed any temples or blasphemed against our goddess.
