Acts 19:38

Verse 38 of 41. The 19th of 28 chapters in Acts, in Acts.

34But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

35When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?

36Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.

37For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.

38If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.

39But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.

40For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”

41When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
