In context
30Paul wanted to go before the crowd, but the disciples would not let him; 31and some of the officials of Asia who were his friends sent word urging him not to venture into the theater. 32Meanwhile some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in chaos and most of them did not know why they had come together. 33Some of the crowd instructed Alexander, whom the Jews pushed forward, and he motioned with his hand, wanting to make a defense before the people. 34But when they realized he was a Jew, one shout went up from them all, and for about two hours they cried, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
