\v 26 You know that Paul has taught many people who live in Ephesus to no longer buy the statues that we make. Now even the people from many other towns in our province no longer want to buy what we make. Paul tells people that the gods that we worship are not gods and that we should not worship them.
\v 27 If people listen to him, they will stop our business. People will not think that they should come any longer to the temple of Diana to worship her. People will no longer think that Diana is great. Yet all the province of Asia and even the whole world worship her!"

\v 33 One of the Jews there was named Alexander. Some of the Jews pushed him to the front of the crowd so that he could speak to the people. Alexander put his hands up trying to get the crowd to stop shouting. He wanted to tell them that the Jews did not cause the trouble .
\v 34 But many of the non-Jewish people knew that Alexander was a Jew and knew that the Jews did not worship the goddess Diana. So the non-Jews shouted for two hours, "Great is the goddess Diana of the Ephesians!"

\v 36 Everyone knows that, and no one can say that these things are not true. So you should be quiet now. Do not do anything stupid.
\v 37 You should not have brought these two men here, because they have not done anything evil. They have not gone into our temples and taken things from there, and they have not spoken evil of our goddess.
