href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-1.htm"><b>1</b></a></span>And it came about that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found some disciples, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>and he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they <i>said</i> to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they <i>began</i> speaking with tongues and prophesying. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And there were in all about twelve men. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading <i>them</i> about the kingdom of God. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And this took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. <p><b><i>Miracles at Ephesus</i></b><p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>And God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name 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="http://bible.cc/acts/19-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>And seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And the evil spirit answered and said to them, “I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and <i>began</i> burning them in the sight of all; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while. <p>     <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>And about that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, was bringing no little business to the craftsmen; <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>these he gathered together with the workmen of similar <i>trades,</i> and said, “Men, you know that our prosperity depends upon this business. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>“And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods <i>at all.</i> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>“And not only is there danger that this trade of ours fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be regarded as worthless and that she whom all of Asia and the world worship should even be dethroned from her magnificence.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And when they heard <i>this</i> and were filled with rage, they <i>began</i> crying out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>And the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>And when Paul wanted to go into the assembly, the disciples would not let him. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>And also some of the Asiarchs who were friends of his sent to him and repeatedly urged him not to venture into the theater. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>So then, some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and the majority did not know for what cause they had come together. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>And some of the crowd concluded <i>it was</i> Alexander, since the Jews had put him forward; and having motioned with his hand, Alexander was intending to make a defense to the assembly. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>But when they recognized that he was a Jew, a <i>single</i> outcry arose from them all as they shouted for about two hours, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>And after quieting the multitude, the town clerk said, “Men of Ephesus, what man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis, and of the <i>image</i> which fell down from heaven? <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>“Since then these are undeniable facts, you ought to keep calm and to do nothing rash. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>“For you have brought these men<i> here</i> who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>“So then, if Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a complaint against any man, the courts are in session and proconsuls are <i>available;</i> let them bring charges against one another. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>“But if you want anything beyond this, it shall be settled in the lawful assembly. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>“For indeed we are in danger of being accused of a riot in connection with today’s affair, since there is no <i>real</i> cause <i>for it;</i> and in this connection we shall be unable to account for this disorderly gathering.” <span class="reftext"><a href="http://bible.cc/acts/19-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>And after saying this he dismissed the assembly.</div><br /><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">New American Standard
