Acts 19:18-22

18And many who had become believers came confessing and disclosing their practices,

19while many of those who had practiced magic collected their books and burned them in front of everyone. So they calculated their value and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

20In this way the word of the Lord spread and prevailed.

21After these events, Paul resolved by the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem. “After I’ve been there,” he said, “It is necessary for me to see Rome as well.”

22After sending to Macedonia two of those who assisted him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
