Hechos 19:24 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 19:24

For a certain man, named Demetrius, a silversmith
Who worked in silver, not in coining silver money, but in making silver vessels, in melting silver, and casting it into moulds, and forming it into different shapes; and particularly,

which made silver shrines for Diana;
who Diana was, (See Gill on Acts 19:27), these were not coins or medals of silver, struck by Demetrius, with the figure of the temple of Diana on them, nor images of Diana, as the Ethiopic version reads; but they were chaplets, or little temples made of silver, in imitation of the temple of Diana at Ephesus, with her image included in it; the words may be rendered, "silver temples": in some manuscripts it is added, "like little chests": which being sold to the people,

brought no small gain to the craftsmen:
who were of the same trade with him; masters of the same business, who employed others under them, as appears by what follows.

22 Envi贸 a sus dos asistentes, Timoteo y Erasto, a que se adelantaran a Macedonia mientras que 茅l se qued贸 un poco m谩s de tiempo en la provincia de Asia.
23 Disturbio en 脡feso
Por ese tiempo, se gener贸 un grave problema en 脡feso con respecto al Camino.

脡l les daba trabajo a muchos artesanos.
25 Los reuni贸 a todos, junto con otros que trabajaban en oficios similares y les dirigi贸 las siguientes palabras:
芦Caballeros, ustedes saben que nuestra riqueza proviene de este negocio.
26 Pero, como han visto y o铆do, este tal Pablo ha convencido a mucha gente al decirles que los dioses hechos a mano no son realmente dioses; y no solo lo ha hecho en 脡feso, 隆sino por toda la provincia!
