Acts 19:1-20

1It happenedG1096 that whileG1722 1ApollosG625 was at 2CorinthG2882, PaulG3972 passedG1330 throughG1330 the 3upperG510 countryG3313 and cameG2064 to 4EphesusG2181, and foundG2147 someG5100 disciplesG3101. 2He saidG3004 to them, “5Did you receiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 when you believedG4100?” And they said to him, “NoG3761, 6we have not evenG3761 heardG191 whetherG1487 7there is a HolyG40 SpiritG4151.” 3And he saidG3004, “Into whatG5101 thenG3767 were you baptizedG907?” And they saidG3004, “8Into John’sG2491 baptismG908.” 4PaulG3972 saidG3004, “9JohnG2491 baptizedG907 with the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341, tellingG3004 the peopleG2992 10to believeG4100 in Him who was comingG2064 afterG3326 him, that is, in JesusG2424.” 5When they heardG191 this, they were 11baptizedG907 12in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 6And when PaulG3972 had 13laidG2007 his handsG5495 upon them, the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 cameG2064 on them, and they began 14speakingG2980 with tonguesG1100 and 15prophesyingG4395. 7There were in allG3956 aboutG5616 twelveG1427 menG435.

8And he enteredG1525 16the synagogueG4864 and continued speakingG3955 out boldlyG3955 for threeG5140 monthsG3376, reasoningG1256 and persuadingG3982 them 17aboutG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 9But whenG5613 18someG5100 were becomingG4645 hardenedG4645 and disobedientG544, speakingG2551 evilG2551 of 19the WayG3598 beforeG1799 the 20peopleG4128, he withdrewG868 from them and tookG873 awayG873 21the disciplesG3101, reasoningG1256 dailyG2596G2250 in the schoolG4981 of TyrannusG5181. 10ThisG3778 tookG1096 placeG1096 for 22twoG1417 yearsG2094, soG5620 that allG3956 who livedG2730 in 2324AsiaG773 heardG191 25the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672.

11GodG2316 was performingG4160 26extraordinaryG5177 27miraclesG1411 by the handsG5495 of PaulG3972, 1228soG5620 that handkerchiefsG4676 orG2228 apronsG4612 were evenG2532 carriedG667 from his bodyG5559 to the sickG770, and the diseasesG3554 leftG525 them and 29the evilG4190 spiritsG4151 wentG1607 out. 13But alsoG2532 someG5100 of the JewishG2453 30exorcistsG1845, who wentG4022 from placeG4022 to placeG4022, attemptedG2021 to nameG3687 overG1909 thoseG3588 who hadG2192 the evilG4190 spiritsG4151 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, sayingG3004, “I adjureG3726 you by JesusG2424 whomG3739 PaulG3972 preachesG2784.” 14SevenG2033 sonsG5207 of oneG5100 ScevaG4630, a JewishG2453 chiefG749 priestG749, were doingG4160 thisG3778. 15And the evilG4190 spiritG4151 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “I recognizeG1097 JesusG2424, and I knowG1987 aboutG1987 PaulG3972, but whoG5101 are you?” 16And the manG444, in whomG3739 was the evilG4190 spiritG4151, leapedG2177 on them and subduedG2634 allG297 of them and overpoweredG2480 them, soG5620 that they fledG1628 out of that houseG3624 nakedG1131 and woundedG5135. 17ThisG3778 becameG1096 knownG1110 to allG3956, bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672, who livedG2730 in 31EphesusG2181; and fearG5401 fellG1968 upon them allG3956 and the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 was being magnifiedG3170. 18ManyG4183 alsoG5037 of thoseG3588 who had believedG4100 kept comingG2064, confessingG1843 and disclosingG312 their practicesG4234. 19And manyG2425 of thoseG3588 who practicedG4238 magicG4021 broughtG4851 their booksG976 togetherG4851 and began burningG2618 them in the sightG1799 of everyoneG3956; and they countedG4860 up the priceG5092 of them and foundG2147 it 32fiftyG3461G4002 thousandG3461 33piecesG694 of silverG694. 20SoG3779 3435the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 36was growingG837 mightilyG2904 and prevailingG2480.
