<A name="4"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>and he said to them, “Into what, then, were you immersed?” And they said, “Into John’s immersion.” <A name="5"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>And Paul said, “John, indeed, immersed with an immersion of conversion, saying to the people that they should believe in Him who is coming after him—that is, in the Christ—Jesus”; <A name="6"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>and they, having heard, were immersed into the Name of the Lord Jesus, <A name="7"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>and Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, they were also speaking with tongues, and prophesying, <A name="8"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>and all the men were, as it were, twelve.<p> <A name="9"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the Kingdom of God, <A name="10"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of The Way before the multitude, having departed from them, he separated the disciples, reasoning every day in the school of a certain Tyrannus. <A name="11"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks,<p> <A name="12"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>also mighty works—not common—God was working through the hands of Paul, <A name="13"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>so that even to the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.<p> <A name="14"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took on [them] to name over those having the evil spirits the Name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches”; <A name="15"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>and there were certain—seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest—who are doing this thing; <A name="16"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>and the evil spirit, answering, said, “I know Jesus, and I am acquainted with Paul; and you—who are you?” <A name="17"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that they fled naked and wounded out of that house, <A name="18"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell on them all, and the Name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified; <A name="19"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>many also of those who believed were coming, confessing and declaring their acts, <A name="20"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>and many of those who had practiced the superfluous arts, having brought the scrolls together, were burning [them] before all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found [it] fifty thousand pieces of silver, <A name="21"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.<p> <A name="22"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying, “After my being there, it is also necessary for me to see Rome”;

<A name="27"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, turned away a great multitude, saying that they who are made by hands are not gods; <A name="28"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis, the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world worships.”<p> <A name="29"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And having heard, and having become full of wrath, they were crying out, saying, “Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!” <A name="30"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>And the whole city was filled with confusion; they rushed also with one accord into the theater, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s fellow-travelers. <A name="31"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>And on Paul’s resolving to enter in to the populace, the disciples were not permitting him, <A name="32"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>and also some of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent to him, were pleading [with] him not to venture into the theater himself. <A name="33"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they had come together; <A name="34"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander—the Jews thrusting him forward—and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defense to the populace, <A name="35"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, “Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!” <A name="36"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, says, “Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus? <A name="37"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>These things, then, being undeniable, it is necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. <A name="38"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>For you brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor slandering of your goddess; <A name="39"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a matter with anyone, court [days] are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another. <A name="40"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>And if you seek after anything concerning other matters, it will be determined in the legal assembly; <A name="41"></a><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>for we are also in peril of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day, there being no occasion by which we will be able to give an account of this concourse”; <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/19-41.htm"><b>41</b></a></span>and having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.<p><br /></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">Literal Standard Version<br>Copyright © 2022 by Covenant Press.
