ACTS 19:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Moreover 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:”
When they heard this, they were furious and began shouting: 'Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!' — The crowd's chanting (mega = megale) invokes Artemis's cultic greatness (megaleiotes, majesty) while rage (thymos, violent anger) displaces rational deliberation.
