ACTS 19:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So 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.”
Soon the whole city was in an uproar — The people seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's traveling companions from Macedonia, and all of them rushed into the theater — The mob mentality (holos he polis, the whole city) crescendos; Paul's companions suffer proxy violence. The theater (theatron) becomes the civic amphitheater where decisions are rendered.
