44:019:032 Some therefore cried one thing, and some
another: for the
assembly
was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore
they
were come together.
44:019:033 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude,
the Jews putting
him
forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand,
and would
have
made his defence unto the people.
44:019:034 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all
with one voice about
the
space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the
Ephesians.
44:019:035 And when the townclerk had appeased the
people, he said, Ye
men
of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how
that
the
city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great
goddess
Diana,
and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
44:019:036 Seeing then that these things cannot be
spoken against, ye
ought
to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
44:019:037 For ye have brought hither these men, which
are neither
robbers
of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
44:019:038 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen
which are with him,
have
a matter against any man, the law is open, and there
are
deputies:
let them implead one another.
44:019:039 But if ye enquire any thing concerning
other matters, it shall
be
determined in a lawful assembly.
44:019:040 For we are in danger to be called in question
for this day’s
uproar,
there being no cause whereby we may give an account
of
this
concourse.
44:019:041 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
44:020:001 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called
unto him the
disciples,
and embraced them, and departed for to go into
Macedonia.
44:020:002 And when he had gone over those parts,
and had given them much
exhortation,
he came into Greece,
44:020:003 And there abode three months. And
when the Jews laid wait for
him,
as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to
return
through
Macedonia.
44:020:004 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater
of Berea; and of
the
Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius
of
Derbe,
and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
44:020:005 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
44:020:006 And we sailed away from Philippi after
the days of unleavened
bread,
and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we
abode
seven days.
44:020:007 And upon the first day of the week, when
the disciples came
together
to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to
depart
on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
