ACTS

The Riot at the Stadium (Part 1)

Pastor Scott Brenner Acts 19:28-34
[19:28] Now when they heard this, they were full of wrath and cried out, saying, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"
[19:29] So the whole city was filled with confusion, and rushed into the theater with one accord, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's travel companions.
[19:30] And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him.
[19:31] Then some of the officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him pleading that he would not venture into the theater.
[19:32] Some therefore cried one thing and some another, for the assembly was confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together.
[19:33] And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, and wanted to make his defense to the people.
[19:34] But when they found out that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"
