# Connecting Statement:
Demetrius continues to speak to the craftsmen.
# You see and hear that
"You have come to know and understand that"
# persuaded and turned away many people
Paul's stopping people from worshiping idols is spoken of as though Paul were turning the people in a different direction. Alternate translation: "persuaded many people and caused them to stop worshiping the local gods" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# He is saying that gods made by hands are not gods
Here the word "hands" can refer to the whole person. Alternate translation: "He is saying that the idols that people make are not real gods" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])
