Demetrius (biblical figure) explained

The name Demetrius occurs in two places in the New Testament:

• a Diana-worshipping silversmith who incited a riot against the Apostle Paul in the city of Ephesus.^[1]
• a disciple commended in 2 3 John. Possibly the bearer of the letters of 1, 2 and 3 John, Demetrius is commended to the early Christian leader Gaius (2 3 John) as one who upholds the truth of the Gospel, and as such should be welcomed and provided for.
