Acts 19:24-28

New American Standard Bible

²⁴ For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of ^[a]Artemis, ^(A)was bringing ^[b]considerable ^[c]business to the craftsmen; ²⁵ he gathered these men together with the workmen of similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that our prosperity ^[d]depends upon this business. ²⁶ You see and hear that not only in ^(B)Ephesus, but in almost all of ^[e](C)Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that ^[f](D)gods made by hands are not gods at all. ²⁷ Not only is there danger that this trade of ours will fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess ^[g]Artemis will be regarded as worthless, and that she whom all of ^[h](E)Asia and ^(F)the ^[i]world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence.”

²⁸ When they heard this and were filled with rage, they began shouting, saying, “Great is ^[j]Artemis of the ^(G)Ephesians!”
