In the Lecture Hall of Tyrannus

⁸ Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly over a period of three months, arguing and persuading them about the kingdom of God.^(A)

²² After sending to Macedonia two of those who assisted him, Timothy and Erastus,^(A) he himself stayed in Asia for a while.^(B)

²⁶ You see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this man Paul has persuaded and misled a considerable number of people by saying that gods made by hand are not gods.^{(A) 27} Not only do we run a risk that our business may be discredited, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis may be despised and her magnificence come to the verge of ruin—the very one all of Asia and the world worship.”

³¹ Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for three years I never stopped warning each one of you with tears.^(A)
