King James Version (KJV)
Acts 19:25 Context
22So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. 23And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. 24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; 25Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. 26Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: 27So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. 28And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

People's Bible Notes for Acts 19:25
Ac 19:25-28 Sirs, ye know. Observe the argument of Demetrius: (1) By this craft we have our wealth (Ac 19:25); (2) Paul teaches that these are not gods that are made with hands (Ac 19:26); (3) therefore our craft is in danger (Ac 19:27); (4) the great goddess Diana is despised (Ac 19:27); (5) great is Diana of the Ephesians! (Ac 19:28). The prime incentive of his religious zeal is that his craft is in danger. Many are like him still.
