Acts 19

1And it cameG2064 to passG1330, while ApollosG625 wasG1510 at CorinthG2882, PaulG3972, having passedG1330 through the upper districtsG3313, cameG2064 to EphesusG2181, and findingG2147 certainG5100 disciplesG3101, 2he saidG3004 to them, Did ye receiveG2983 [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151 when ye had believedG4100? And they [saidG3004] to him, We did not evenG3761 hearG191 if [the] HolyG40 SpiritG4151 wasG1510 [come]. 3And he saidG3004, To what thenG3767 were ye baptised? And they saidG3004, To the baptismG908 of JohnG2491. 4And PaulG3972 saidG3004, JohnG2491 indeed baptised [with] the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341, sayingG3004 to the peopleG2992 that they should believeG4100 on him that wasG1510 comingG2064 after him, that isG1510, on JesusG2424. 5And when they heardG191 that, they were baptised to the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 6And PaulG3972 having laidG2007 [his] handsG5495 on them, the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 cameG2064 upon them, and they spokeG2980 with tonguesG1100 and prophesiedG4395. 7And all the menG435 wereG1510 about twelveG1427. 8And enteringG1525 into the synagogueG4864, he spokeG3955 boldlyG3955 during threeG5140 monthsG3376, reasoningG1256 and persuadingG3982 [the things] concerningG4012 the kingdomG932 of 1GodG2316. 9But whenG5613 some were hardenedG4645 and disbelieved, speakingG2551 evilG2551 of the wayG3598 before the multitudeG4128, he left them and separatedG873 the disciplesG3101, reasoningG1256 daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10And this took placeG1096 for twoG1417 yearsG2094, so that all that inhabited AsiaG773 heardG191 the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, both JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672. 11And 2GodG2316 wrought no ordinary miracles by the handsG5495 of PaulG3972, 12so that evenG2532 napkins or aprons were brought from his body [and put] upon the sickG770, and the diseasesG3554 left them, and the wickedG4190 spiritsG4151 wentG1607 out. 13And certainG5100 of the JewishG2453 exorcists alsoG2532, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wickedG4190 spiritsG4151 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, sayingG3004, I adjureG3726 you by JesusG2424, whom PaulG3972 preachesG2784. 14And there wereG1510 certainG5100 [menG3778], sevenG2033 sonsG5207 of Sceva, JewishG2453 highG749 priestG749, who wereG1510 doing this. 15But the wickedG4190 spiritG4151 answeringG611 saidG3004 to them, JesusG2424 I knowG1097, and PaulG3972 I amG1510 acquainted with; but ye, who areG1510 ye? 16And the manG444 in whom the wickedG4190 spiritG4151 wasG1510 leaped upon them, and having mastered both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that houseG3624 nakedG1131 and woundedG5135. 17And this becameG1096 known to all, both JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672, who inhabited EphesusG2181, and fearG5401 fell upon all of them, and the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 was magnifiedG3170. 18And manyG4183 of those that believedG4100 cameG2064 confessingG1843 and declaringG312 their deedsG4234. 19And manyG2425 of those that practised curious arts brought their booksG976 [of charms] and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and foundG2147 it fifty thousand pieces of silverG694. 20ThusG3779 with might the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 increasedG837 and prevailed. 21And whenG5613 these thingsG3778 were fulfilled, PaulG3972 purposed in his spiritG4151 to goG4198 to JerusalemG2414, passingG1330 through MacedoniaG3109 and AchaiaG882, sayingG3004, After I have been there I must seeG3708 RomeG4516 alsoG2532. 22And having sentG649 into MacedoniaG3109 twoG1417 of those ministeringG1247 to him, Timotheus and ErastusG2037, he remained himself awhile in AsiaG773. 23And there took placeG1096 at that timeG2540 no smallG3641 disturbanceG5017 about the wayG3598. 24For a certainG5100 [man] by nameG3686 DemetriusG1216, a silver-beater, makingG4160 silverG693 templesG3485 of ArtemisG735, broughtG3930 no smallG3641 gain to the artisans; 25whom having brought togetherG4867, and those who wrought in suchG5108 thingsG3778, he saidG3004, MenG435, ye knowG1987 that our well-living arises from this work, 26and ye seeG2334 and hearG191 that this PaulG3972 has persuadedG3982 and turned away a great crowdG3793, not onlyG3440 of EphesusG2181, but almostG4975 of all AsiaG773, sayingG3004 that they areG1510 no 3godsG2316 which areG1510 made with handsG5495. 27NowG1161 not onlyG3440 there is dangerG2793 for us that our business comeG2064 into discredit, but alsoG2532 that the temple of the greatG3173 4goddess ArtemisG735 be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the wholeG3650 of AsiaG773 and the worldG3625 reveres. 28And having heardG191 [this], and being filled with rageG2372, they criedG2896 out, sayingG3004, GreatG3173 [is] ArtemisG735 of the EphesiansG2180. 29And the [whole] cityG4172 was filledG4130 with confusion, and they rushedG3729 with oneG3661 accordG3661 to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] GaiusG1050 and AristarchusG708, MacedoniansG3110, fellow-travellers of PaulG3972. 30But PaulG3972 intendingG1014 to goG1525 in to the people, the disciplesG3101 suffered him not; 31and some of the Asiarchs alsoG2532, who wereG1510 his friendsG5384, sentG3992 to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre. 32Different persons thereforeG3767 criedG2896 out some different thing; for the assemblyG1577 wasG1510 tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come togetherG4905. 33But from among the crowdG3793 they put forward AlexanderG223, the JewsG2453 pushing him forward. And AlexanderG223, beckoning with his handG5495, would have made a defence to the peopleG3793. 34But, recognising that he wasG1510 a JewG2453, there wasG1510 oneG1520 cryG2896 from all, shouting for about twoG1417 hoursG5610, GreatG3173 [isG1510] ArtemisG735 of the EphesiansG2180. 35And the townclerk, having quieted the crowdG3793, saidG5346, EphesiansG2180, what manG444 isG1510 there then who does not knowG1097 that the cityG4172 of the EphesiansG2180 isG1510 temple-keeper of ArtemisG735 the greatG3173, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven? 36These thingsG3778 thereforeG3767 beingG1510 undeniable, it isG1510 necessaryG1163 that ye should beG1510 calm and do nothingG3367 headlong. 37For ye have broughtG71 these menG435, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your 5goddess. 38If thereforeG3767 DemetriusG1216 and the artisans who [areG1510] with him have a matterG3056 against any oneG240, the courts areG1510 beingG1510 heldG2192, and there areG1510 proconsulsG446: let them accuse oneG240 another. 39But if ye inquire anythingG5100 concerningG4012 otherG2087 matters, it will be settled in the regular assemblyG1577. 40For alsoG2532 we are in dangerG2793 to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be ableG1410 to giveG591 a reason for this concourse. 41And having saidG3004 these thingsG3778, he dismissedG630 the assemblyG1577.
