Acts 19:27 in Context — Acts 19

25 Il les rassembla, avec ceux du même métier, et dit: O hommes, vous savez que notre bien-être dépend de cette industrie;

26 et vous voyez et entendez que, non seulement à Éphèse, mais dans presque toute l’Asie, ce Paul a persuadé et détourné une foule de gens, en disant que les dieux faits de main d’homme ne sont pas des dieux.

27 Le danger qui en résulte, ce n’est pas seulement que notre industrie ne tombe en discrédit; c’est encore que le temple de la grande déesse Diane ne soit tenu pour rien, et même que la majesté de celle qui est révérée dans toute l’Asie et dans le monde entier ne soit réduite à néant.

28 Ces paroles les ayant remplis de colère, ils se mirent à crier: Grande est la Diane des Éphésiens!

29 Toute la ville fut dans la confusion. Ils se précipitèrent tous ensemble au théâtre, entraînant avec eux Gaïus et Aristarque, Macédoniens, compagnons de voyage de Paul.
