33The Jews in the crowd pushed Alexander forward to explain himself, and he motioned for silence so he could make his defense to the people.

35Finally the city clerk quieted the crowd and declared, "Men of Ephesus, doesn't everyone know that the city of Ephesus is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?
“And when the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple guardian of the great goddess Diana and of the image which fell down from Zeus?”
“After quieting the multitude, the town clerk said, Men of Ephesus, what man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis, or Diana, and of the image that fell…”

36Since these things are undeniable, you ought to be calm and not do anything rash.
“Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against ye ought to be quiet and to do nothing rashly.”

“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.”
“Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a case against anyone, the courts are open and there are pro -councils. Let them bring charges against one another.”
39But if you are seeking anything beyond this, it must be settled in a legal assembly.
“But if you have any other inquiry to make, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly,”
40For we are in jeopardy of being charged with rioting for today's events, and we have no justification to account for this commotion."
“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”
“for we are in danger of being called in question for today's uproar, there be no reason which we may give to account for this disorderly gathering.”
41After he had said this, he dismissed the assembly.
“And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.”
“And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.”
“And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.”
