019:030 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn't allow him. 019:031 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater. 019:032 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn't know why they had come together. 019:033 They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people. 019:034 But 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!" 019:035 When 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? 019:036 Seeing then that these things can't be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash. 019:037 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess. 019:038 If 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. 019:039 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly. 019:040 For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day's riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn't be able to give an account of this commotion." 019:041 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly. 020:001 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia. 020:002 When he had gone through those parts, and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece. 020:003 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia. 020:004 These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea; Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; Gaius of Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia. 020:005 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas. 020:006 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days. 020:007 On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and continued his speech until midnight. 020:008 There were many lights in the upper chamber where we{TR reads "they" instead of "we"} were gathered together.
