Chapter 19

1 And1161 it came to pass,1096 that, while Apollos625 was1511 at1722 Corinth,2882 Paul3972 having passed through1330 the3588 upper510 coasts3313 came2064 to1519 Ephesus:2181 and2532 finding2147 certain5100 disciples,3101

2 He said2036 unto4314 them,846 Have1487 ye received2983 the Holy40 Ghost4151 since ye believed?4100 And1161 they3588 said2036 unto4314 him,846 We have not so much as235 3761 heard191 whether1487 there be2076 any Holy40 Ghost.4151

3 And5037 he said2036 unto4314 them,846 Unto1519 what5101 then3767 were ye baptized?907 And1161 they3588 said,2036 Unto1519 John's2491 baptism.908

4 Then1161 said2036 Paul,3972 John2491 verily3303 baptized907 with the baptism908 of repentance,3341 saying3004 unto the3588 people,2992 that2443 they should believe4100 on1519 him which should come2064 after3326 him,846 that is,5123 on1519 Christ5547 Jesus.2424

5 When1161 they heard191 this, they were baptized907 in1519 the3588 name3686 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus.2424

6 And2532 when Paul3972 had laid2007 his hands5495 upon them,846 the3588 Holy40 Ghost4151 came2064 on1909 them;846 and5037 they spake2980 with tongues,1100 and2532 prophesied.4395

7 And1161 all3956 the men435 were2258 about5616 twelve.1177

8 And1161 he went1525 into1519 the3588 synagogue,4864 and spake boldly3955 for the space of1909 three5140 months,3376 disputing1256 and2532 persuading3982 the things3588 concerning4012 the3588 kingdom932 of God.2316

9 But1161 when5613 divers5100 were hardened,4645 and2532 believed not,544 but spake evil2551 of that way3598 before1799 the3588 multitude,4128 he departed868 from575 them,846 and separated873 the3588 disciples,3101 disputing1256 daily2596 2250 in1722 the3588 school4981 of one5100 Tyrannus.5181

10 And1161 this5124 continued1096 by the space of1909 two1417 years;2094 so that5620 all3956 they which dwelt2730 in Asia773 heard191 the3588 word3056 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus,2424 both5037 Jews2453 and2532 Greeks.1672

11 And5037 God2316 wrought4160 special3756 5177 miracles1411 by1223 the3588 hands5495 of Paul: 3972

12 So that5620 2532 from575 his846 body5559 were brought2018 unto1909 the3588 sick770 handkerchiefs4676 or2228 aprons,4612 and2532 the3588 diseases3554 departed525 from575 them,846 and5037 the3588 evil4190 spirits4151 went1831 out of575 them.846

13 Then1161 certain5100 of575 the3588 vagabond4022 Jews,2453 exorcists,1845 took upon2021 them to call3687 over1909 them which had2192 evil4190 spirits4151 the3588 name3686 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus,2424 saying,3004 We adjure3726 you5209 by Jesus2424 whom3739 Paul3972 preacheth.2784

14 And1161 there were2258 seven2033 sons5207 of one Sceva,4630 a Jew,2453 and chief of the priests,749 which did4160 so.5124

15 And1161 the3588 evil4190 spirit4151 answered611 and said,2036 Jesus2424 I know,1097 and2532 Paul3972 I know;1987 but1161 who5101 are2075 ye?5210

16 And2532 the3588 man444 in1722 whom3739 the3588 evil4190 spirit4151 was2258 leaped2177 on1909 them,846 and2532 overcame2634 them,846 and prevailed2480 against2596 them,846 so that5620 they fled1628 out of1537 that1565 house3624 naked1131 and2532 wounded.5135

17 And1161 this5124 was1096 known1110 to all3956 the Jews2453 and2532 Greeks1672 also5037 dwelling2730 at Ephesus;2181 and2532 fear5401 fell1968 on1909 them846 all,3956 and2532 the3588 name3686 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus2424 was magnified.3170

18 And5037 many4183 that believed4100 came,2064 and confessed,1843 and2532 showed312 their848 deeds.4234

19 1161 Many2425 of them also which used4238 curious arts4021 brought their books together,4851 976 and burned2618 them before1799 all3956 men: and2532 they counted4860 the3588 price5092 of them,846 and2532 found2147 it fifty thousand4002 3461 pieces of silver.694

20 So3779 mightily2596 2904 grew837 the3588 word3056 of God2962 and2532 prevailed.2480

21 1161 After5613 these things5023 were ended,4137 Paul3972 purposed5087 in1722 the3588 spirit,4151 when he had passed through1330 Macedonia3109 and2532 Achaia,882 to go4198 to1519 Jerusalem,2419 saying,2036 After I3165 have been1096 there,1563 I3165 must1163 also2532 see1492 Rome.4516

22 So1161 he sent649 into1519 Macedonia3109 two1417 of them that ministered1247 unto him,846 Timothy5095 and2532 Erastus;2037 but he846 himself stayed1907 in1519 Asia773 for a season.5550

23 And1161 the same2596 1565 time2540 there arose1096 no3756 small3641 stir5017 about4012 that way.3598

24 For1063 a certain5100 man named3686 Demetrius,1216 a silversmith,695 which made4160 silver693 shrines3485 for Diana,735 brought3930 no3756 small3641 gain2039 unto the3588 craftsmen;5079

25 Whom3739 he called together4867 with2532 the3588 workmen2040 of4012 like occupation,5108 and said,2036 Sirs,435 ye know1987 that3754 by1537 this5026 craft2039 we have2076 our2257 wealth.2142

26 Moreover2532 ye see2334 and2532 hear,191 that3754 not3756 alone3440 at Ephesus,2181 but235 almost4975 throughout all3956 Asia,773 this3778 Paul3972 hath persuaded3982 and turned away3179 much2425 people,3793 saying3004 that3754 they be1526 no3756 gods,2316 which3588 are made1096 with1223 hands: 5495

27 So that1161 not3756 only3440 this5124 our2254 craft3313 is in danger2793 to be set at naught;2064 1519 557 but235 also2532 that the3588 temple2411 of the3588 great3173 goddess2299 Diana735 should be despised,1519 3762 3049 and1161 her848 magnificence3168 should3195 be2532 destroyed,2507 whom3739 all3650 Asia773 and2532 the3588 world3625 worshippeth.4576

28 And1161 when they heard191 these sayings, they were1096 full4134 of wrath,2372 and2532 cried out,2896 saying,3004 Great3173 is Diana735 of the Ephesians.2180

29 And2532 the3588 whole3650 city4172 was filled4130 with confusion:4799 and5037 having caught4884 Gaius1050 and2532 Aristarchus,708 men of Macedonia,3110 Paul's3972 companions in travel,4898 they rushed3729 with one accord3661 into1519 the3588 theater.2302

30 And1161 when Paul3972 would1014 have entered in1525 unto1519 the3588 people,1218 the3588 disciples3101 suffered1439 him846 not.3756

31 And1161 certain5100 of2532 the3588 chief of Asia,775 which were5607 his846 friends,5384 sent3992 unto4314 him,846 desiring3870 him that he would not3361 adventure1325 himself1438 into1519 the3588 theater.2302

32 Some therefore cried one thing,243 3303 3767 2896 and some243 another:5100 for1063 the3588 assembly1577 was2258 confused;4797 and2532 the3588 more part4119 knew1492 not3756 wherefore5101 1752 they were come together.4905

33 And1161 they drew4264 Alexander223 out of1537 the3588 multitude,3793 the3588 Jews2453 putting him forward.4261 846 And1161 Alexander223 beckoned2678 with the3588 hand,5495 and would2309 have made his defense626 unto the3588 people.1218

34 But1161 when they knew1921 that3754 he was2076 a Jew,2453 all with one voice1096 5456 3391 1537 3956 about the space of5613 1909 two1417 hours5610 cried out,2896 Great3173 is Diana735 of the Ephesians.2180

35 And1161 when the3588 town clerk1122 had appeased2687 the3588 people,3793 he said,5346 Ye men435 of Ephesus,2180 1063 what5101 man444 is2076 there that3739 knoweth1097 not3756 how that the3588 city4172 of the Ephesians2180 is5607 a worshiper3511 of the3588 great3173 goddess2299 Diana,735 and2532 of the image which fell down from Jupiter?1356

36 Seeing then3767 that these things5130 cannot be spoken against,5607 368 ye5209 2076 ought1163 to be5225 quiet,2687 and2532 to do4238 nothing3367 rashly.4312

37 For1063 ye have brought71 hither these5128 men,435 which are neither3777 robbers of churches,2417 nor3777 yet blasphemers987 of your5216 goddess.2299

38 Wherefore3767 if1487 3303 Demetrius,1216 and2532 the3588 craftsmen5079 which are with4862 him,846 have2192 a matter3056 against4314 any man,5100 the law is open,60 71 and2532 there are1526 deputies:446 let them implead1458 one another.240

39 But1161 if1487 ye inquire1934 any thing5100 concerning4012 other matters,2087 it shall be determined1956 in1722 a lawful1772 assembly.1577

40 For1063 we are in danger2793 to2532 be called in question1458 for4012 this day's4594 uproar,4714 there being5225 no3367 cause158 whereby4012 3739 we may1410 give591 an account3056 of this5026 concourse.4963

41 And2532 when he had thus5023 spoken,2036 he dismissed630 the3588 assembly.1577

Acts

Chapter 19

1 AND it came to pass, that while Apol'los was at Cor'inth, Paul traveled through the northern countries and came to Eph'e-sus, and inquired of the disciples whom he found there,

2 Have you received the Holy Spirit since you were converted? They answered and said to him, We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.

3 Then he said to them, By what baptism then were you baptized? They said, By the baptism of John.

4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying unto them that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, Jesus Christ.

5 When they heard these things, they were baptized in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ.

6 And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in divers tongues, and prophesied.

7 And there were in all twelve persons.

8 Then Paul entered into the synagogue, and spoke openly for a period of three months, persuading the people concerning the kingdom of God.

9 But some of them were stubborn, and they disputed and cursed the way of God in the presence of the assembly. Then Paul withdrew, and separated the disciples from them, and he spoke to them daily in the school of a man named Ty-ran'us.

10 And this continued for two years until all who dwelt in Asia Minor, both Jews and Arameans (Syrians), heard the word of God.

11 And God wrought great miracles by the hands of Paul:

12 So that even when, of the clothes on his body, pieces of garments were brought and laid upon the sick, diseases were cured, and even the insane were restored.

13 Now certain Jews, who went about exorcising evil spirits, invoked the name of our LORD Jesus over those who were possessed, saying, We adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches.

14 And there were seven sons of one Sce'va, a Jew, and chief of the priests, who did this.

15 And the insane man answered and said to them, Jesus I recognize and Paul I know; but who are you?

16 Then the insane man leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

17 And this became known to all the Jews and Arameans (Syrians) who dwelt at Eph'esus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of our LORD Jesus Christ was magnified.

18 And many of them that believed came, and told their faults, and confessed what they had done.

19 Many magicians also gathered together their en_lbp_books and brought them and burned them before the presence of the people; and they counted the price of them, and it amounted to fifty thousand pieces of silver.

20 So mightily grew the faith of God and greatly increased in numbers.

21 When these things had been accomplished, Paul made up his mind to travel through all of Mac-e-do'ni-a and A-cha'ia, and then to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.

22 So he sent to Mac-e-do'ni-a two men of those who had ministered to him, Ti-mo'theus and E-ras'tus; but he himself stayed in Asia Minor for some time.

23 And at that time there was a great uprising against those who followed in the way of God.

24 There was here a silversmith named Deme'tri- us, who made silver shrines for Ar'temis, thus greatly enriching the craftsmen of his trade.

25 He called together all the craftsmen of his trade, with the workmen of like occupation, and said to them: Men, you know that all of our earnings are derived from this craft.

26 You also hear and see that not only the Ephe'si- ans, but almost throughout all Asia Minor, this Paul has persuaded, and turned away many people simply by saying that gods made by the hands of men are not gods,

27 So that not only is this craft doomed, but also the temple of the great goddess Ar'temis will be disregarded, and the goddess of all Asia Minor, even she whom all peoples worship, will be despised.

28 And when they heard these things they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Ar'te-mis of the E-phe'si-ans.

29 And the whole city was in tumult: and they rushed together to the theatre, and there seized and carried along with them Ga'ius and Ar-is-tar'chus, Mac-e-do'ni-ans, members of Paul's escort.

30 And Paul wanted to go into the theatre, but the disciples stopped him.

31 And likewise some of the chiefs of Asia Minor, because they were his friends, sent to him, begging him not to risk his life by entering the theatre.

32 Now the multitude in the theatre was greatly confused; some cried one thing, and some another; and many of them did not know why they had assembled together.

33 And the Jews who were there appointed a Jew named Al-ex-an'der. And when he rose up, he gestured with his hand and would have addressed the people.

34 But when they knew he was a Jew, all of them cried out with one voice for about two hours, Great is Ar'te-mis of the E-phe'si-ans.

35 The mayor of the city finally quieted them, saying, Men of Eph'e-sus, who among men does not know that the city of the Ephe'si- ans is the seat of great Ar'te-mis and her image that fell from heaven.

36 Since, therefore, no man can contradict this, you should keep quiet, and do nothing hastily.

37 For you have brought these men here who have neither robbed temples nor have they reviled our goddess.

38 But if De-me'tri-us and the men of his trade have a case against any man, behold there is a proconsul in the city; let the craftsmen come forward and settle with one another in the court.

39 But if you want something else, it must be determined in a lawful assembly.

40 For even now we are in danger of being charged with sedition, for we cannot give an answer concerning this day's meeting, because we have assembled for no reason, and have been tumultuous without a cause.

41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

1 And1161 it came to pass,1096 that, while Apollos625 was1511 at1722 Corinth,2882 Paul3972 having passed through1330 the3588 upper510 coasts3313 came2064 to1519 Ephesus:2181 and2532 finding2147 certain5100 disciples,3101

1 AND it came to pass, that while Apol'los was at Cor'inth, Paul traveled through the northern countries and came to Eph'e-sus, and inquired of the disciples whom he found there,

2 He said2036 unto4314 them,846 Have1487 ye received2983 the Holy40 Ghost4151 since ye believed?4100 And1161 they3588 said2036 unto4314 him,846 We have not so much as235 3761 heard191 whether1487 there be2076 any Holy40 Ghost.4151

2 Have you received the Holy Spirit since you were converted? They answered and said to him, We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.

3 And5037 he said2036 unto4314 them,846 Unto1519 what5101 then3767 were ye baptized?907 And1161 they3588 said,2036 Unto1519 John's2491 baptism.908

3 Then he said to them, By what baptism then were you baptized? They said, By the baptism of John.

4 Then1161 said2036 Paul,3972 John2491 verily3303 baptized907 with the baptism908 of repentance,3341 saying3004 unto the3588 people,2992 that2443 they should believe4100 on1519 him which should come2064 after3326 him,846 that is,5123 on1519 Christ5547 Jesus.2424

4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying unto them that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, Jesus Christ.

5 When1161 they heard191 this, they were baptized907 in1519 the3588 name3686 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus.2424

5 When they heard these things, they were baptized in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ.

6 And2532 when Paul3972 had laid2007 his hands5495 upon them,846 the3588 Holy40 Ghost4151 came2064 on1909 them;846 and5037 they spake2980 with tongues,1100 and2532 prophesied.4395

6 And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in divers tongues, and prophesied.

7 And1161 all3956 the men435 were2258 about5616 twelve.1177

7 And there were in all twelve persons.

8 And1161 he went1525 into1519 the3588 synagogue,4864 and spake boldly3955 for the space of1909 three5140 months,3376 disputing1256 and2532 persuading3982 the things3588 concerning4012 the3588 kingdom932 of God.2316

8 Then Paul entered into the synagogue, and spoke openly for a period of three months, persuading the people concerning the kingdom of God.

9 But1161 when5613 divers5100 were hardened,4645 and2532 believed not,544 but spake evil2551 of that way3598 before1799 the3588 multitude,4128 he departed868 from575 them,846 and separated873 the3588 disciples,3101 disputing1256 daily2596 2250 in1722 the3588 school4981 of one5100 Tyrannus.5181

9 But some of them were stubborn, and they disputed and cursed the way of God in the presence of the assembly. Then Paul withdrew, and separated the disciples from them, and he spoke to them daily in the school of a man named Ty-ran'us.

10 And1161 this5124 continued1096 by the space of1909 two1417 years;2094 so that5620 all3956 they which dwelt2730 in Asia773 heard191 the3588 word3056 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus,2424 both5037 Jews2453 and2532 Greeks.1672

10 And this continued for two years until all who dwelt in Asia Minor, both Jews and Arameans (Syrians), heard the word of God.

11 And5037 God2316 wrought4160 special3756 5177 miracles1411 by1223 the3588 hands5495 of Paul: 3972

11 And God wrought great miracles by the hands of Paul:

12 So that5620 2532 from575 his846 body5559 were brought2018 unto1909 the3588 sick770 handkerchiefs4676 or2228 aprons,4612 and2532 the3588 diseases3554 departed525 from575 them,846 and5037 the3588 evil4190 spirits4151 went1831 out of575 them.846

12 So that even when, of the clothes on his body, pieces of garments were brought and laid upon the sick, diseases were cured, and even the insane were restored.

13 Then1161 certain5100 of575 the3588 vagabond4022 Jews,2453 exorcists,1845 took upon2021 them to call3687 over1909 them which had2192 evil4190 spirits4151 the3588 name3686 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus,2424 saying,3004 We adjure3726 you5209 by Jesus2424 whom3739 Paul3972 preacheth.2784

13 Now certain Jews, who went about exorcising evil spirits, invoked the name of our LORD Jesus over those who were possessed, saying, We adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches.

14 And1161 there were2258 seven2033 sons5207 of one Sceva,4630 a Jew,2453 and chief of the priests,749 which did4160 so.5124

14 And there were seven sons of one Sce'va, a Jew, and chief of the priests, who did this.

15 And1161 the3588 evil4190 spirit4151 answered611 and said,2036 Jesus2424 I know,1097 and2532 Paul3972 I know;1987 but1161 who5101 are2075 ye?5210

15 And the insane man answered and said to them, Jesus I recognize and Paul I know; but who are you?

16 And2532 the3588 man444 in1722 whom3739 the3588 evil4190 spirit4151 was2258 leaped2177 on1909 them,846 and2532 overcame2634 them,846 and prevailed2480 against2596 them,846 so that5620 they fled1628 out of1537 that1565 house3624 naked1131 and2532 wounded.5135

16 Then the insane man leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

17 And1161 this5124 was1096 known1110 to all3956 the Jews2453 and2532 Greeks1672 also5037 dwelling2730 at Ephesus;2181 and2532 fear5401 fell1968 on1909 them846 all,3956 and2532 the3588 name3686 of the3588 Lord2962 Jesus2424 was magnified.3170

17 And this became known to all the Jews and Arameans (Syrians) who dwelt at Eph'esus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of our LORD Jesus Christ was magnified.

18 And5037 many4183 that believed4100 came,2064 and confessed,1843 and2532 showed312 their848 deeds.4234

18 And many of them that believed came, and told their faults, and confessed what they had done.

19 1161 Many2425 of them also which used4238 curious arts4021 brought their books together,4851 976 and burned2618 them before1799 all3956 men: and2532 they counted4860 the3588 price5092 of them,846 and2532 found2147 it fifty thousand4002 3461 pieces of silver.694

19 Many magicians also gathered together their en_lbp_books and brought them and burned them before the presence of the people; and they counted the price of them, and it amounted to fifty thousand pieces of silver.

20 So3779 mightily2596 2904 grew837 the3588 word3056 of God2962 and2532 prevailed.2480

20 So mightily grew the faith of God and greatly increased in numbers.

21 1161 After5613 these things5023 were ended,4137 Paul3972 purposed5087 in1722 the3588 spirit,4151 when he had passed through1330 Macedonia3109 and2532 Achaia,882 to go4198 to1519 Jerusalem,2419 saying,2036 After I3165 have been1096 there,1563 I3165 must1163 also2532 see1492 Rome.4516

21 When these things had been accomplished, Paul made up his mind to travel through all of Mac-e-do'ni-a and A-cha'ia, and then to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.

22 So1161 he sent649 into1519 Macedonia3109 two1417 of them that ministered1247 unto him,846 Timothy5095 and2532 Erastus;2037 but he846 himself stayed1907 in1519 Asia773 for a season.5550

22 So he sent to Mac-e-do'ni-a two men of those who had ministered to him, Ti-mo'theus and E-ras'tus; but he himself stayed in Asia Minor for some time.

23 And1161 the same2596 1565 time2540 there arose1096 no3756 small3641 stir5017 about4012 that way.3598

23 And at that time there was a great uprising against those who followed in the way of God.

24 For1063 a certain5100 man named3686 Demetrius,1216 a silversmith,695 which made4160 silver693 shrines3485 for Diana,735 brought3930 no3756 small3641 gain2039 unto the3588 craftsmen;5079

24 There was here a silversmith named Deme'tri- us, who made silver shrines for Ar'temis, thus greatly enriching the craftsmen of his trade.

25 Whom3739 he called together4867 with2532 the3588 workmen2040 of4012 like occupation,5108 and said,2036 Sirs,435 ye know1987 that3754 by1537 this5026 craft2039 we have2076 our2257 wealth.2142

25 He called together all the craftsmen of his trade, with the workmen of like occupation, and said to them: Men, you know that all of our earnings are derived from this craft.

26 Moreover2532 ye see2334 and2532 hear,191 that3754 not3756 alone3440 at Ephesus,2181 but235 almost4975 throughout all3956 Asia,773 this3778 Paul3972 hath persuaded3982 and turned away3179 much2425 people,3793 saying3004 that3754 they be1526 no3756 gods,2316 which3588 are made1096 with1223 hands: 5495

26 You also hear and see that not only the Ephe'si- ans, but almost throughout all Asia Minor, this Paul has persuaded, and turned away many people simply by saying that gods made by the hands of men are not gods,

27 So that1161 not3756 only3440 this5124 our2254 craft3313 is in danger2793 to be set at naught;2064 1519 557 but235 also2532 that the3588 temple2411 of the3588 great3173 goddess2299 Diana735 should be despised,1519 3762 3049 and1161 her848 magnificence3168 should3195 be2532 destroyed,2507 whom3739 all3650 Asia773 and2532 the3588 world3625 worshippeth.4576

27 So that not only is this craft doomed, but also the temple of the great goddess Ar'temis will be disregarded, and the goddess of all Asia Minor, even she whom all peoples worship, will be despised.

28 And1161 when they heard191 these sayings, they were1096 full4134 of wrath,2372 and2532 cried out,2896 saying,3004 Great3173 is Diana735 of the Ephesians.2180

28 And when they heard these things they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Ar'te-mis of the E-phe'si-ans.

29 And2532 the3588 whole3650 city4172 was filled4130 with confusion:4799 and5037 having caught4884 Gaius1050 and2532 Aristarchus,708 men of Macedonia,3110 Paul's3972 companions in travel,4898 they rushed3729 with one accord3661 into1519 the3588 theater.2302

29 And the whole city was in tumult: and they rushed together to the theatre, and there seized and carried along with them Ga'ius and Ar-is-tar'chus, Mac-e-do'ni-ans, members of Paul's escort.

30 And1161 when Paul3972 would1014 have entered in1525 unto1519 the3588 people,1218 the3588 disciples3101 suffered1439 him846 not.3756

30 And Paul wanted to go into the theatre, but the disciples stopped him.

31 And1161 certain5100 of2532 the3588 chief of Asia,775 which were5607 his846 friends,5384 sent3992 unto4314 him,846 desiring3870 him that he would not3361 adventure1325 himself1438 into1519 the3588 theater.2302

31 And likewise some of the chiefs of Asia Minor, because they were his friends, sent to him, begging him not to risk his life by entering the theatre.

32 Some therefore cried one thing,243 3303 3767 2896 and some243 another:5100 for1063 the3588 assembly1577 was2258 confused;4797 and2532 the3588 more part4119 knew1492 not3756 wherefore5101 1752 they were come together.4905

32 Now the multitude in the theatre was greatly confused; some cried one thing, and some another; and many of them did not know why they had assembled together.

33 And1161 they drew4264 Alexander223 out of1537 the3588 multitude,3793 the3588 Jews2453 putting him forward.4261 846 And1161 Alexander223 beckoned2678 with the3588 hand,5495 and would2309 have made his defense626 unto the3588 people.1218

33 And the Jews who were there appointed a Jew named Al-ex-an'der. And when he rose up, he gestured with his hand and would have addressed the people.

34 But1161 when they knew1921 that3754 he was2076 a Jew,2453 all with one voice1096 5456 3391 1537 3956 about the space of5613 1909 two1417 hours5610 cried out,2896 Great3173 is Diana735 of the Ephesians.2180

34 But when they knew he was a Jew, all of them cried out with one voice for about two hours, Great is Ar'te-mis of the E-phe'si-ans.

35 And1161 when the3588 town clerk1122 had appeased2687 the3588 people,3793 he said,5346 Ye men435 of Ephesus,2180 1063 what5101 man444 is2076 there that3739 knoweth1097 not3756 how that the3588 city4172 of the Ephesians2180 is5607 a worshiper3511 of the3588 great3173 goddess2299 Diana,735 and2532 of the image which fell down from Jupiter?1356

35 The mayor of the city finally quieted them, saying, Men of Eph'e-sus, who among men does not know that the city of the Ephe'si- ans is the seat of great Ar'te-mis and her image that fell from heaven.

36 Seeing then3767 that these things5130 cannot be spoken against,5607 368 ye5209 2076 ought1163 to be5225 quiet,2687 and2532 to do4238 nothing3367 rashly.4312

36 Since, therefore, no man can contradict this, you should keep quiet, and do nothing hastily.

37 For1063 ye have brought71 hither these5128 men,435 which are neither3777 robbers of churches,2417 nor3777 yet blasphemers987 of your5216 goddess.2299

37 For you have brought these men here who have neither robbed temples nor have they reviled our goddess.

38 Wherefore3767 if1487 3303 Demetrius,1216 and2532 the3588 craftsmen5079 which are with4862 him,846 have2192 a matter3056 against4314 any man,5100 the law is open,60 71 and2532 there are1526 deputies:446 let them implead1458 one another.240

38 But if De-me'tri-us and the men of his trade have a case against any man, behold there is a proconsul in the city; let the craftsmen come forward and settle with one another in the court.

39 But1161 if1487 ye inquire1934 any thing5100 concerning4012 other matters,2087 it shall be determined1956 in1722 a lawful1772 assembly.1577

39 But if you want something else, it must be determined in a lawful assembly.

40 For1063 we are in danger2793 to2532 be called in question1458 for4012 this day's4594 uproar,4714 there being5225 no3367 cause158 whereby4012 3739 we may1410 give591 an account3056 of this5026 concourse.4963

40 For even now we are in danger of being charged with sedition, for we cannot give an answer concerning this day's meeting, because we have assembled for no reason, and have been tumultuous without a cause.

41 And2532 when he had thus5023 spoken,2036 he dismissed630 the3588 assembly.1577

41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
