They answered and said to him, We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-3.htm#aramaic"><b>3</b></a></span>Then he said to them, By what baptism then were you baptized? They said, By the baptism of John. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-4.htm#aramaic"><b>4</b></a></span>Then said Paul, John verily baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying unto them that they should believe on him who should come after him, that is, Jesus Christ. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-5.htm#aramaic"><b>5</b></a></span>When they heard these things, they were baptized in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-6.htm#aramaic"><b>6</b></a></span>And when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spoke in divers tongues, and prophesied. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-7.htm#aramaic"><b>7</b></a></span>And there were in all twelve persons.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-8.htm#aramaic"><b>8</b></a></span>Then Paul entered into the synagogue, and spoke openly for a period of three months, persuading the people concerning the kingdom of God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-9.htm#aramaic"><b>9</b></a></span>But some of them were stubborn, and they disputed and cursed the way of God in the presence of the assembly. Then Paul withdrew, and separated the disciples from them, and he spoke to them daily in the school of a man named Ty-ran’us. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-10.htm#aramaic"><b>10</b></a></span>And this continued for two years until all who dwelt in Asia Minor, both Jews and Arameans (Syrians), heard the word of God.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-11.htm#aramaic"><b>11</b></a></span>And God wrought great miracles by the hands of Paul: <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-12.htm#aramaic"><b>12</b></a></span>So that even when, of the clothes on his body, pieces of garments were brought and laid upon the sick, diseases were cured, and even the insane were restored.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-13.htm#aramaic"><b>13</b></a></span>Now certain Jews, who went about exorcising evil spirits, invoked the name of our LORD Jesus over those who were possessed, saying, We adjure you in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-14.htm#aramaic"><b>14</b></a></span>And there were seven sons of one Sce’va, a Jew, and chief of the priests, who did this. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-15.htm#aramaic"><b>15</b></a></span>And the insane man answered and said to them, Jesus I recognize and Paul I know; but who are you? <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-16.htm#aramaic"><b>16</b></a></span>Then the insane man leaped on them, and overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so they fled out of that house naked and wounded. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-17.htm#aramaic"><b>17</b></a></span>And this became known to all the Jews and Arameans (Syrians) who dwelt at Eph'esus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of our LORD Jesus Christ was magnified. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-18.htm#aramaic"><b>18</b></a></span>And many of them that believed came, and told their faults, and confessed what they had done. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-19.htm#aramaic"><b>19</b></a></span>Many magicians also gathered together their books and brought them and burned them before the presence of the people; and they counted the price of them, and it amounted to fifty thousand pieces of silver. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-20.htm#aramaic"><b>20</b></a></span>So mightily grew the faith of God and greatly increased in numbers.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-21.htm#aramaic"><b>21</b></a></span>When these things had been accomplished, Paul made up his mind to travel through all of Mac-e-do’ni-a and A-cha’ia, and then to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-22.htm#aramaic"><b>22</b></a></span>So he sent to Mac-e-do’ni-a two men of those who had ministered to him, Ti-mo’theus and E-ras’tus; but he himself stayed in Asia Minor for some time.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-23.htm#aramaic"><b>23</b></a></span>And at that time there was a great uprising against those who followed in the way of God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-24.htm#aramaic"><b>24</b></a></span>There was here a silversmith named Deme’tri- us, who made silver shrines for Ar’temis, thus greatly enriching the craftsmen of his trade. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-25.htm#aramaic"><b>25</b></a></span>He called together all the craftsmen of his trade, with the workmen of like occupation, and said to them: Men, you know that all of our earnings are derived from this craft. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-26.htm#aramaic"><b>26</b></a></span>You also hear and see that not only the Ephe’si- ans, but almost throughout all Asia Minor, this Paul has persuaded, and turned away many people simply by saying that gods made by the hands of men are not gods, <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-27.htm#aramaic"><b>27</b></a></span>So that not only is this craft doomed, but also the temple of the great goddess Ar’temis will be disregarded, and the goddess of all Asia Minor, even she whom all peoples worship, will be despised.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-28.htm#aramaic"><b>28</b></a></span>And when they heard these things they were filled with wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Ar’te-mis of the E-phe’si-ans. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-29.htm#aramaic"><b>29</b></a></span>And the whole city was in tumult: and they rushed together to the theatre, and there seized and carried along with them Ga’ius and Ar-is-tar’chus, Mac-e-do’ni-ans, members of Paul’s escort. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-30.htm#aramaic"><b>30</b></a></span>And Paul wanted to go into the theatre, but the disciples stopped him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-31.htm#aramaic"><b>31</b></a></span>And likewise some of the chiefs of Asia Minor, because they were his friends, sent to him, begging him not to risk his life by entering the theatre. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-32.htm#aramaic"><b>32</b></a></span>Now the multitude in the theatre was greatly confused; some cried one thing, and some another; and many of them did not know why they had assembled together. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-33.htm#aramaic"><b>33</b></a></span>And the Jews who were there appointed a Jew named Al-ex-an’der. And when he rose up, he gestured with his hand and would have addressed the people. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-34.htm#aramaic"><b>34</b></a></span>But when they knew he was a Jew, all of them cried out with one voice for about two hours, Great is Ar’te-mis of the E-phe’si-ans. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-35.htm#aramaic"><b>35</b></a></span>The mayor of the city finally quieted them, saying, Men of Eph'e-sus, who among men does not know that the city of the Ephe’si- ans is the seat of great Ar’te-mis and her image that fell from heaven. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-36.htm#aramaic"><b>36</b></a></span>Since, therefore, no man can contradict this, you should keep quiet, and do nothing hastily. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-37.htm#aramaic"><b>37</b></a></span>For you have brought these men here who have neither robbed temples nor have they reviled our goddess. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-38.htm#aramaic"><b>38</b></a></span>But if De-me’tri-us and the men of his trade have a case against any man, behold there is a proconsul in the city; let the craftsmen come forward and settle with one another in the court. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-39.htm#aramaic"><b>39</b></a></span>But if you want something else, it must be determined in a lawful assembly. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-40.htm#aramaic"><b>40</b></a></span>For even now we are in danger of being charged with sedition, for we cannot give an answer concerning this day’s meeting, because we have assembled for no reason, and have been tumultuous without a cause. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/acts/19-41.htm#aramaic"><b>41</b></a></span>And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.<p><br /></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">Holy Bible From The Ancient Eastern Texts: Aramaic Of The Peshitta by George M.
