Acts 19:36-40

³⁶As these are undeniable facts, you ought to keep calm and do nothing rash;

³⁷for you have brought these men here, though they are neither robbers of Temples nor blasphemers of our Goddess.

³⁸If, however, Demetrius and the artisans who are acting with him have a charge to make against anyone, there are court days and there are Magistrates; let both parties take legal proceedings.

³⁹But if you want anything more, it will have to be settled in the regular Assembly.

⁴⁰For I tell you that we are in danger of being proceeded against for today's riot, there being nothing to account for it; and in that case we will be at a loss to give any reason for this disorderly gathering.”
