Having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul's companions, they dragged them from the theatre, where they were preaching the word of the Lord, to the judges, to be heard by them. When Paul would have entered to the people, his disciples and friends did not let him (for there was great confusion throughout the city), for fear that all the people's rage would turn on him, whom they knew to be the initiator of the preaching that was detrimental to them.<br/><i>— Complexiones on the Acts of the Apostles</i></p><p><b>John Chrysostom</b>: \"There arose no small stir about the Way.\" Do you see the renown acquired?
