"Not only is there danger that this trade of ours fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be regarded as worthless and that she whom all of Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence."

28

When they heard this and were filled with rage, they began crying out, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!"

The city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's traveling companions from Macedonia.

Also some of the Asiarchs who were friends of his sent to him and repeatedly urged him not to venture into the theater.
