24 For a certain silversmith named Demetrius, making silver shrines of Artemis, was bringing no little business to the craftsmen. 25 Having brought them together along with the workmen in such things, he said, “Men, you? know that out of this business is our wealth. 26 And you? see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul, having persuaded them, has turned away a great many people, saying that they are not gods being made by hands. 27 Now not only is this business of ours endangered to come into disrepute, but also for the temple of the great goddess Artemis to be reckoned for nothing, and also her majesty to be deposed, whom all Asia and the world worship.” Acts 19:24-27, Berean Literal Bible.
