Acts 19:8-22

8And he enteredG1525 1the synagogueG4864 and continued speakingG3955 out boldlyG3955 for threeG5140 monthsG3376, reasoningG1256 and persuadingG3982 them 2aboutG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 9But whenG5613 3someG5100 were becomingG4645 hardenedG4645 and disobedientG544, speakingG2551 evilG2551 of 4the WayG3598 beforeG1799 the 5peopleG4128, he withdrewG868 from them and tookG873 awayG873 6the disciplesG3101, reasoningG1256 dailyG2596G2250 in the schoolG4981 of TyrannusG5181. 10ThisG3778 tookG1096 placeG1096 for 7twoG1417 yearsG2094, soG5620 that allG3956 who livedG2730 in 89AsiaG773 heardG191 10the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672.

11GodG2316 was performingG4160 11extraordinaryG5177 12miraclesG1411 by the handsG5495 of PaulG3972, 1213soG5620 that handkerchiefsG4676 orG2228 apronsG4612 were evenG2532 carriedG667 from his bodyG5559 to the sickG770, and the diseasesG3554 leftG525 them and 14the evilG4190 spiritsG4151 wentG1607 out. 13But alsoG2532 someG5100 of the JewishG2453 15exorcistsG1845, 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 16EphesusG2181; 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 17fiftyG3461G4002 thousandG3461 18piecesG694 of silverG694. 20SoG3779 1920the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 21was growingG837 mightilyG2904 and prevailingG2480.

21NowG1161 afterG5613 theseG3778 thingsG3778 were finishedG4137, PaulG3972 purposedG5087 in the 22SpiritG4151 to 23goG4198 to JerusalemG2414 24after he had passedG1330 throughG1330 25MacedoniaG3109 and 26AchaiaG882, sayingG3004, “AfterG3326 I have beenG1096 thereG1563, 27I mustG1163 alsoG2532 seeG3708 RomeG4516.” 22And having sentG649 into 28MacedoniaG3109 twoG1417 of 29thoseG3588 who ministeredG1247 to him, 30TimothyG5095 and 31ErastusG2037, he himselfG846 stayedG1907 in 3233AsiaG773 for a whileG5550.
