Acts 19:18-22

18Also many of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices. 19And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they added up the prices of 1the books and found it to be fifty thousand 2 3pieces of silver. 20So 4 5the word of the Lord 6was growing and prevailing mightily.

21Now after these things were finished, Paul resolved in 7the Spirit to 8go to Jerusalem 9after he had passed through 10Macedonia and 11Achaia, saying, “After I have been there, 12I must also see Rome.” 22And after he sent into 13Macedonia two of 14those who assisted him, 15Timothy and 16Erastus, he himself stayed in 17 18Asia for a while.
