Luke 21

1	And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
2	And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
3	And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
4	For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
5	And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
6	As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
7	And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
8	And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
9	But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
10	Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
11	And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12	But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13	And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14	Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15	For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16	And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolk, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17	And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
18	But there shall not a hair of your head perish.
19	In your patience possess ye your souls.
20	And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21	Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22	For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23	But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24	And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25	And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26	Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27	And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28	And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29	And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30	When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31	So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32	Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33	Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34	And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35	For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36	Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
37	And in the daytime he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
38	And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.

Exodus 6

1	Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
2	And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
3	And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
4	And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
5	And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
6	Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
7	And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8	And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am the LORD.
9	And Moses spoke so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
11	Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
12	And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
13	And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
14	These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben.
15	And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.
16	And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were a hundred thirty and seven years.
17	The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.
18	And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred thirty and three years.
19	And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations.
20	And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty and seven years.
21	And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
22	And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
23	And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bore him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
24	And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites.
25	And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bore him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
26	These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
27	These are they which spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
28	And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spoke unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
29	That the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
30	And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?

Romans 9

1	I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2	That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3	For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4	Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5	Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
6	Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7	Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8	That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9	For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10	And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11	(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
12	It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13	As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14	What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15	For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16	So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.
17	For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18	Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19	Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20	Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21	Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
22	What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23	And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24	Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25	As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26	And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27	Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28	For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29	And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrah.
30	What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31	But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32	Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33	As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offense: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Revelation 5

1	And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2	And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3	And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4	And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5	And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6	And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7	And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8	And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
9	And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10	And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11	And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12	Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
13	And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever.
14	And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth forever and ever.

Song of Solomon 3

1	By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
2	I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
3	The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
4	It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
5	I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
6	Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
7	Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
8	They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
9	King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
10	He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
11	Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.

Psalms 93

1	The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.
2	Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
3	The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
4	The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5	Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, forever.

Proverbs 26

1	As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not seemly for a fool.
2	As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
3	A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
4	Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5	Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
6	He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.
7	The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
8	As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honor to a fool.
9	As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
10	The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors.
11	As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.
12	Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
13	The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.
14	As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
15	The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16	The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17	He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18	As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19	So is the man that deceiveth his neighbor, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20	Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
21	As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.
22	The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
23	Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.
24	He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;
25	When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.
26	Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be showed before the whole congregation.
27	Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him.
28	A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

Esther 4

1	When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
2	And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
3	And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4	So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.
5	Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
6	So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.
7	And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
8	Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
9	And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
10	Again Esther spoke unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;
11	All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden scepter, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
12	And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
13	Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
14	For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
15	Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,
16	Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
17	So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

Zechariah 11

1	Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
2	Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
3	There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
4	Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
5	Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
6	For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.
7	And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
8	Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
9	Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
10	And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
11	And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
12	And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
13	And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
14	Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15	And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16	For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
17	Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

Acts 19

1	And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
2	He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
3	And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4	Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5	When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6	And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7	And all the men were about twelve.
8	And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
9	But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
10	And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11	And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12	So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
13	Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14	And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
15	And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16	And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17	And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18	And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their deeds.
19	Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20	So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
21	After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
22	So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timothy and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
23	And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
24	For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
25	Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
26	Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
27	So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at naught; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
28	And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
29	And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theater.
30	And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
31	And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theater.
32	Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.
33	And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defense unto the people.
34	But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
35	And when the town clerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshiper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
36	Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37	For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
38	Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.
39	But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
40	For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.
41	And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
