When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.
When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.
Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
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.
