Acts 19:29-33

The city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s Macedonian traveling companions.

And when Paul wanted to go into the assembly, the disciples would not let him.

Also some of the Asiarchs who were friends of his sent word to him and repeatedly urged him not to venture into the theater.

So then, some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion and the majority did not know for what reason they had come together.

Some of the crowd concluded it was Alexander, since the Jews had put him forward; and having motioned with his hand, Alexander was intending to make a defense to the assembly.
