The Clerk Calms the Crowd

35But after the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, for what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great Artemis and of the image fallen from heaven?”

36Therefore, since these things are undeniable, it is necessary for you to remain calm and to do nothing rash.

37For you have brought these men here who are neither temple robbers nor blasphemers of our goddess.
