Acts 19:21 - 41

Ephesus didn't care about the impact of the Gospel until it hit their pocketbooks. An attack on finances caused an uproar with the people in Ephesus. In verse 19:26 it says that Paul had convinced and led astray large numbers of people in Ephesus due to Paul stating that man-made gods were no gods at all. How did Paul lead so many "astray"?
