ACTS 19:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way — A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought in a lot of business for the craftsmen — Demetrius, silversmith-entrepreneur, represents economic interests threatened by Christian monotheism. His shrines (naoi, small temple models) commodified Artemis devotion.
