Acts 19:26 meaning and explanation
And you can see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in nearly the whole province of Asia, Paul has persuaded a great number of people to turn away. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all.
Acts 19:26, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Demetrius, a silversmith whose trade depended on silver shrines of Artemis, is speaking to fellow craftsmen in Ephesus. He is not making a theological argument but a business one: Paul's preaching has persuaded large numbers across the province of Asia to turn away from the gods, and Demetrius summarizes that message as the claim that man-made gods are no gods at all.
