Acts 19:31-33

New Century Version

³¹ Also, some leaders of Asia who were friends of Paul sent him a message, begging him not to go into the theater. ³² Some people were shouting one thing, and some were shouting another. The meeting was completely confused; most of them did not know why they had come together. ³³ They put a man named Alexander in front of the people, and some of them told him what to do. Alexander waved his hand so he could explain things to the people.
