Acts 19:33

30 And when Paul was about to go in to the people, the disciples did not let him.

31 And some of the rulers of Asia, being his friends, sent to him, requesting him seriously not to put himself in danger by going into the theatre.

32 And some said one thing, and some another: for there was no order in the meeting; and most of them had no idea why they had come together.

33 Then they took Alexander out from among the people, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander, making a sign with his hand, was about to make a statement to the people in answer:

34 But when they saw that he was a Jew, all of them with one voice went on crying out for about two hours, Great is Diana of Ephesus.

35 And when the chief secretary had got the people quiet, he said, Men of Ephesus, is any man without knowledge that the town of Ephesus is the keeper of the holy place of the great Diana, who was sent down from Jupiter?

36 So then, because these things may not be doubted, it would be better for you to be quiet, and do nothing unwise.
