Acts 19:34 Context
32Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused, and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. 33And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Iewes putting him forward. And Alexander beckened with the hand, and would haue made his defence vnto the people. 34But when they knew that he was a Iewe, all with one voyce about the space of two houres cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 35And when the towne clarke had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there þt knoweth not how that the citie of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddesse Diana, and of the image which fell downe from Iupiter? 36Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to doe nothing rashly.
