23 And aabout that time there arose a great commotion about bthe Way.  
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of1 Diana, brought ano small profit to the craftsmen.  
25 He called them together with the workers of similar occupation, and said: “Men, you know that we have our prosperity by this trade.
26 Moreover you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that athey are not gods which are made with hands.  
27 So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and1 her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.”  
28 Now when they heard this, they were full of wrath and cried out, saying, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!”
29 So the whole city was filled with confusion, and rushed into the theater with one accord, having seized aGaius and bAristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s travel companions.  
30 And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him.
