019:034 No sooner, however, did they see that he was a Jew, than there arose
from them all one roar of shouting, lasting about two hours.
"Great is the Ephesian Diana," they said.
019:035 At length the Recorder quieted them down. "Men of Ephesus," he said, "who is there of all mankind that needs to be told that the city of Ephesus is the guardian of the temple of the great Diana and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
019:036 These facts, then, being unquestioned, it becomes you to maintain
your self-control and not act recklessly.
019:037 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers
of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
019:038 If, however, Demetrius and the mechanics who support his contention have a grievance against any one, there are Assize-days and there are Proconsuls: let the persons interested accuse one another.
019:039 But if you desire anything further, it will have to be settled in the regular assembly.
019:040 For in connexion with to-day's proceedings there is danger of our being charged with attempted insurrection, there having been no real reason for this riot; nor shall we be able to justify the behaviour of this disorderly mob."
019:041 With these words he dismissed the assembly.
020:001 When the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples;
and, after speaking words of encouragement to them, he took
his leave, and started for Macedonia.
020:002 Passing through those districts he encouraged the disciples
in frequent addresses, and then came into Greece, and spent
three months there.
