  • AC-19:1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth,

  • Paul having



  • passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding

  • certain disciples,







  • AC-19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost

  • since ye believed?



  • And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether

  • there be any Holy



  • Ghost.



  • AC-19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?

  • And they said,



  • Unto John's baptism.



  • AC-19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism

  • of repentance,



  • saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which

  • should come after



  • him, that is, on Christ Jesus.



  • AC-19:5 When they heard [this], they were baptized in the name

  • of the Lord



  • Jesus.



  • AC-19:6 And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy

  • Ghost came on



  • them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.



  • AC-19:7 And all the men were about twelve.



  • AC-19:8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for

  • the space of



  • three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the

  • kingdom of



  • God.



  • AC-19:9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but

  • spake evil of



  • that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and

  • separated the



  • disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.



  • AC-19:10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that

  • all they which



  • dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and

  • Greeks.



  • AC-19:11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:



  • AC-19:12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick

  • handkerchiefs or



  • aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil

  • spirits went out of



  • them.



  • AC-19:13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took

  • upon them to call



  • over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus,

  • saying, We adjure



  • you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.



  • AC-19:14 And there were seven sons of [one] Sceva, a Jew, [and]

  • chief of the



  • priests, which did so.



  • AC-19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know,

  • and Paul I know;



  • but who are ye?



  • AC-19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them,

  • and overcame



  • them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that

  • house naked and



  • wounded.



  • AC-19:17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also

  • dwelling at



  • Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord

  • Jesus was



  • magnified.



  • AC-19:18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed

  • their deeds.



  • AC-19:19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought

  • their books



  • together, and burned them before all [men]: and they counted the

  • price of them,



  • and found [it] fifty thousand [pieces] of silver.



  • AC-19:20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.



  • AC-19:21 After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the

  • spirit, when he



  • had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem,

  • saying, After I



  • have been there, I must also see Rome.



  • AC-19:22 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered

  • unto him,



  • Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a

  • season.



  • AC-19:23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that

  • way.



  • AC-19:24 For a certain [man] named Demetrius, a silversmith,

  • which made silver



  • shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;



  • AC-19:25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like

  • occupation, and



  • said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.



  • AC-19:26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus,

  • but almost



  • throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away

  • much people,



  • saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:



  • AC-19:27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set

  • at nought; but



  • also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be

  • despised, and her



  • magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world

  • worshippeth.



  • AC-19:28 And when they heard [these sayings], they were full of

  • wrath, and



  • cried out, saying, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.



  • AC-19:29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and

  • having caught Gaius



  • and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel,

  • they rushed



  • with one accord into the theatre.



  • AC-19:30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people,

  • the disciples



  • suffered him not.



  • AC-19:31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his

  • friends, sent unto



  • him, desiring [him] that he would not adventure himself into the

  • theatre.



  • AC-19:32 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for

  • the assembly



  • was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were

  • come together.



  • AC-19:33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews

  • putting him



  • forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have

  • made his defence



  • unto the people.



  • AC-19:34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one

  • voice about the



  • space of two hours cried out, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.



  • AC-19:35 And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he

  • said, [Ye] men of



  • Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of

  • the Ephesians



  • is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the [image]

  • which fell down



  • from Jupiter?



  • AC-19:36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against,

  • ye ought to



  • be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.



  • AC-19:37 For ye have brought hither these men, which are

  • neither robbers of



  • churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.



  • AC-19:38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are

  • with him, have a



  • matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies:

  • let them



  • implead one another.



  • AC-19:39 But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters,

  • it shall be



  • determined in a lawful assembly.



  • AC-19:40 For we are in danger to be called in question for this

  • day's uproar,



  • there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this

  • concourse.



  • AC-19:41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
