They said to him, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into John's baptism." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Paul said, "John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with other tongues and prophesied. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>They were about twelve men in all.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>He entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning the Kingdom of God. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the crowd, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>The evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>And the man in whom the evil spirit was, having leapt on them, having overpowered them all, prevailed against them so that they fled from that house naked and wounded. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Now after these things had ended, Paul determined 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." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>About that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, "Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>You see and hear, that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worships."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>When they heard this they were filled with anger, and began to shout, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>The city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's companions in travel. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples did not allow him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Some therefore shouted one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them did not know why they had come together. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>They brought Alexander out of the crowd, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours shouted, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>When the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "You men of Ephesus, is there anyone who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus? <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>But if you seek anything further, it will be settled in the regular assembly. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day's riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we would not be able to give an account of this commotion." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/acts/19-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
