Act 19:24-34, Rev 19:19-21 | ESV | STEP | For a man named Demetrius , a silversmith , who made silver shrines of Artemis , brought no little business to the craftsmen .

24 For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, ^abrought no little business to the craftsmen. 25 ^bThese he gathered together, with the workmen in similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth. 26 And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, ^csaying that ^dgods made with hands are not gods. 27 And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the ^egreat goddess Artemis may be counted as nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship.”

28 When they heard this they were enraged and were crying out, ^f“Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” 29 So the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and ^gAristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul’s ^hcompanions in travel. 30 But when Paul wished to go in among the crowd, the disciples would not let him. 31 And even some of the Asiarchs, ^{▼▼That is, high-ranking officers of the province of Asia} who were friends of his, sent to him and were urging him not to venture into the theater. 32 ^jNow some cried out one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had come together. 33 Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews had put forward. And Alexander, ^kmotioning with his hand, wanted to make a defense to the crowd. 34 But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for about two hours they all cried out with one voice, ^l“Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

Revelation of John 19:19-21

19 And I saw ^mthe beast and the kings of the earth with their armies ⁿgathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it ^othe false prophet ^pwho in its presence ^{▼▼Or on its behalf} had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who ^rworshiped its image. These two were ^sthrown alive into the lake of ^tfire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword ^uthat came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and ^vall the birds were gorged with their flesh.
