And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
Después de que el secretario de la ciudad calmó a la multitud, dijo: 'Escuchen, habitantes de Éfeso: todos saben que nuestra ciudad adora a la gran diosa Diana y a esa imagen sagrada que cayó del cielo.'
El funcionario recordó a los efesios que su ciudad era reconocida por adorar a la diosa Diana y su imagen sagrada.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the ancient city of Ephesus, a major center in the Roman province of Asia Minor, the worship of the goddess Diana (Artemis in Greek) was a cornerstone of the local economy and culture, with a famous temple dedicated to her. Paul the Apostle had been preaching the Gospel, which threatened the livelihoods of silversmiths who made idols for Diana, leading to a riotous crowd. The town clerk, a civic official, stepped in to calm the people by appealing to their pride in Ephesus's status as a guardian of the goddess and her sacred image.
