Acts 19:8-22

8And he enteredG1525 into the synagogueG4864, and spake boldlyG3955 for the space of threeG5140 monthsG3376, reasoningG1256 and persuadingG3982 as to the things concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 9But whenG5613 some were hardenedG4645 and disobedientG544, speakingG2551 evilG2551 of the WayG3598 before the multitudeG4128, he departedG868 from them, and separatedG873 the disciplesG3101, reasoningG1256 daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10And this continued for the space of twoG1417 yearsG2094; so that all they that dwelt in AsiaG773 heardG191 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, both JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672. 11And GodG2316 wrought special miracles by the handsG5495 of PaulG3972: 12insomuch that unto the sickG770 were carried awayG667 from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseasesG3554 departed from them, and the evilG4190 spiritsG4151 wentG1607 out. 13But certainG5100 alsoG2532 of the strolling JewsG2453, exorcists, took upon them to nameG3686 over them that had the evilG4190 spiritsG4151 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, sayingG3004, I adjureG3726 you by JesusG2424 whom PaulG3972 preacheth. 14And there wereG1510 sevenG2033 sonsG5207 of oneG5100 Sceva, a JewG2453, a chiefG749 priestG749, who did this. 15And the evilG4190 spiritG4151 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, JesusG2424 I knowG1097, and PaulG3972 I knowG1097; but who areG1510 ye? 16And the manG444 in whom the evilG4190 spiritG4151 wasG1510 leaped on them, and mastered both of them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that houseG3624 nakedG1131 and woundedG5135. 17And this becameG1096 known to all, both JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672, that dwelt at EphesusG2181; and fearG5401 fell upon them all, and the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 was magnifiedG3170. 18ManyG4183 alsoG2532 of them that had believedG4100 cameG2064, confessingG1843, and declaringG312 their deedsG4234. 19And not a few of them that practised magical arts brought their booksG976 together and burnedG2618 them in the sight of all; and they counted the priceG5092 of them, and foundG2147 it fifty thousand pieces of silverG694. 20So mightily grewG837 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 and prevailed.

21NowG1161 after these thingsG3778 were ended, PaulG3972 purposed in the spiritG4151, whenG5613 he had passedG1330 through MacedoniaG3109 and AchaiaG882, to goG4198 to JerusalemG2414, sayingG3004, After I have been there, I must alsoG2532 seeG3708 RomeG4516. 22And having sentG649 into MacedoniaG3109 twoG1417 of them that ministeredG1247 unto him, TimothyG5095 and ErastusG2037, he himself stayed in AsiaG773 for a while.
