Paul exposed the use of images in worship.
This stirred up the wrath of those making and selling them, such as the silversmith Demetrius, who incited a riot. He and fellow craftsmen made silver shrines of the goddess Artemis, and their profitable business was threatened because Paul’s preaching work caused many of the city’s residents to forsake idol worship. In the uproar, Paul finally had to leave the city.—Acts 19:23–20:1.
