Acts 19:26-28

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁶ and you see and hear what this man Paul has done. He has won over a large crowd that follows him not only in Ephesus but also throughout the province of Asia. He tells people that gods made by humans are not gods. ²⁷ There’s a danger that people will discredit our line of work, and there’s a danger that people will think that the temple of the great goddess Artemis is nothing. Then she whom all Asia and the rest of the world worship will be robbed of her glory.”

²⁸ When Demetrius’ workers and the others heard this, they became furious and began shouting, “Artemis of the Ephesians is great!”
