What is the result of Paul’s words?

Acts 14:18 (ESV)

18 Even with these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.

The words of Paul do not serve to convert everyone in the crowd, but they do serve to stop the procession from continuing and prevent any sacrifice from taking place.1
