Acts 19:8-22
8And he enteredG1525 1the synagogueG4864 and continued speakingG3955 outG3955 boldlyG3955 for threeG5140 monthsG3376, havingG1256 discussionsG1256 and persuadingG3982 them 2aboutG4012 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 9But whenG5613 3someG5100 were becomingG4645 hardenedG4645 and disobedientG544, speakingG2551 evilG2551 ofG2551 45the WayG3598 beforeG1799 the 6peopleG4128, he withdrewG868 from them and tookG873 7the disciplesG3101 awayG873 with him, and hadG1256 discussionsG1256 dailyG2596G2250 in the schoolG4981 of TyrannusG5181. 10ThisG3778 tookG1096 placeG1096 for 8twoG1417 yearsG2094, soG5620 thatG5620 allG3956 who livedG2730 in 910AsiaG773 heardG191 11the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672.
11GodG2316 was performingG4160 12extraordinaryG3756G5177 13miraclesG1411 by the handsG5495 of PaulG3972, 1214soG5620 thatG5620 handkerchiefsG4676 orG2228 apronsG4612 were evenG2532 carriedG667 from his bodyG5559 to the sickG770, and the diseasesG3554 leftG525 them and 15the evilG4190 spiritsG4151 wentG1607 outG1607. 13But alsoG2532 someG5100 of the JewishG2453 16exorcistsG1845, who wentG4022 fromG4022 placeG4022 toG4022 placeG4022, attemptedG2021 to 17useG3687 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 overG1909 thoseG3588 who hadG2192 the evilG4190 spiritsG4151, sayingG3004, “I orderG3726 you inG3726 theG3726 nameG3726 ofG3726 JesusG2424 whomG3739 PaulG3972 preachesG2784!” 14NowG1161 there were sevenG2033 sonsG5207 of 18ScevaG4630, a JewishG2453 chiefG749 priestG749, doingG4160 thisG3778. 15But the evilG4190 spiritG4151 respondedG611 and saidG3004 to them, “I recognizeG1097 JesusG2424, and I knowG1987 of PaulG3972, but whoG5101 are you?” 16And the manG444 in whomG3739 was the evilG4190 spiritG4151, pouncedG2177 on them and subduedG2634 allG297 of them and overpoweredG2480 them, soG5620 thatG5620 they fledG1628 out of that houseG3624 nakedG1131 and woundedG5135. 17ThisG3778 becameG1096 knownG1110 to allG3956 who livedG2730 in 19EphesusG2181, bothG5037 JewsG2453 and GreeksG1672; and fearG5401 fellG1968 uponG1968 them allG3956 and the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424 was being magnifiedG3170. 18AlsoG5037 manyG4183 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 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 everyoneG3956; and they addedG4860 upG4860 the pricesG5092 of 20the books and foundG2147 it to be fiftyG3461G4002 thousandG3461 2122pieces of silverG694. 20SoG3779 2324the wordG3056 of the LordG2962 25was growingG837 and prevailingG2480 mightilyG2904.
21NowG1161 afterG5613 theseG3778 thingsG3778 were finishedG4137, PaulG3972 resolvedG5087 in 26the SpiritG4151 to 27goG4198 to JerusalemG2414 28after he had passedG1330 throughG1330 29MacedoniaG3109 and 30AchaiaG882, sayingG3004, “AfterG3326 I have beenG1096 thereG1563, 31I mustG1163 alsoG2532 seeG3708 RomeG4516.” 22And after he sentG649 into 32MacedoniaG3109 twoG1417 of 33thoseG3588 who assistedG1247 him, 34TimothyG5095 and 35ErastusG2037, he himselfG846 stayedG1907 in 3637AsiaG773 for a whileG5550.
