12So thatG5620 fromG575 hisG846 bodyG3588G5559 were broughtG2018 untoG1909 the sickG3588G770 handkerchiefsG4676 orG2228 apronsG4612, andG2532 the diseasesG3588G3554 departedG525 fromG575 themG846, andG5037 theG3588G4151 evilG3588G4190 spiritsG3588G4151 went outG1831 ofG575 themG846. 13

ThenG1161 certainG5100 ofG575 the vagabondG4022 JewsG2453, exorcistsG1845, took upon themG2021 to callG3687 overG1909 themG3588 which hadG2192 evilG4190 spiritsG3588G4151 the nameG3588G3686 of the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424, sayingG3004, We adjureG3726 youG4771 by JesusG3588G2424 whomG3739 PaulG3588G3972 preachethG2784. 14AndG1161 there wereG1510 sevenG2033 sonsG5207 ofG4630 one ScevaG4630, a JewG2453, and chief of the priestsG749, which didG4160 soG3778. 15AndG1161 the evilG4190 spiritG3588G4151 answeredG611 and saidG3004, JesusG3588G2424 I knowG1097, andG2532 PaulG3588G3972 I knowG1987; butG1161 whoG5101 areG1510 yeG4771? 16AndG2532 the manG3588G444 inG1722 whomG3739 the evilG4190 spiritG3588G4151 wasG1510 leapedG2177 onG1909 themG846, andG2532 overcameG2634 themG846, and prevailedG2480 againstG2596 themG846, so thatG5620 they fledG1628 out ofG1537 thatG1565 houseG3588G3624 nakedG1131 andG2532 woundedG5135. 17AndG1161 thisG3778 wasG1096 knownG1110 to allG3956 the JewsG2453 andG2532 GreeksG1672 alsoG5037 dwellingG2730 at EphesusG3588G2181; andG2532 fearG5401 fellG1968 onG1909 themG846 allG3956, andG2532 the nameG3588G3686 of the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 was magnifiedG3170. 18AndG5037 manyG4183 thatG3588 believedG4100 cameG2064, andG2532 confessedG1843, and shewedG312 theirG846 deedsG3588G4234. 19ManyG2425 of themG3588 also which usedG4238 curious artsG4021 brought theirG4851 booksG3588G976 togetherG4851, and burned themG2618 beforeG1799 allG3956 men: andG2532 they countedG4860 the priceG3588G5092 of themG846, andG2532 foundG2147 it fiftyG4002 thousandG3461 pieces of silverG694. 20SoG3779 mightilyG2904 grewG837 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2962 andG2532 prevailedG2480. 21

AfterG5613 these thingsG3778 were endedG4137, PaulG3588G3972 purposedG5087 inG1722 the spiritG3588G4151, when he had passed throughG1330 MacedoniaG3588G3109 andG2532 AchaiaG882, to goG4198 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, sayingG3004, AfterG3326 IG1473 have beenG1096 thereG1563, IG1473 mustG1163 alsoG2532 seeG3708 RomeG4516. 22SoG1161 he sentG649 intoG1519 MacedoniaG3588G3109 twoG1417 of themG3588 that ministeredG1247 unto himG846, TimothyG5095 andG2532 ErastusG2037; but heG1907 himselfG846 stayedG1907 inG1519 AsiaG3588G773 for a seasonG5550. 23AndG1161 the sameG1565 timeG3588G2540 there aroseG1096 noG3756 smallG3641 stirG5017 aboutG4012 that wayG3588G3598. 24ForG1063 a certainG5100 man namedG3686 DemetriusG1216, a silversmithG695, which madeG4160 silverG693 shrinesG3485 for DianaG735, broughtG3930 noG3756 smallG3641 gainG2039 unto the craftsmenG3588G5079; 25WhomG3739 he called togetherG4867 withG2532 the workmenG2040 ofG4012 like occupationG5108, and saidG3004, SirsG435, ye knowG1987 thatG3754 byG1537 thisG3778 craftG3588G2039 we haveG1510 ourG1473 wealthG3588G2142. 26MoreoverG2532 ye seeG2334 andG2532 hearG191, thatG3754 notG3756 aloneG3440 at EphesusG2181, butG235 almostG4975 throughoutG1223 allG3956 AsiaG3588G773, thisG3778 PaulG3588G3972 hath persuadedG3982 and turned awayG3179 muchG2425 peopleG3793, sayingG3004 thatG3754 they beG1510 noG3756 godsG2316, whichG3588 are madeG1096 with handsG5495: 27So thatG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 thisG3778 ourG1473 craftG3588G3313 is in dangerG2793 toG1519 be setG2064 at noughtG557; butG235 alsoG2532 that theG3588 templeG2411 of the greatG3588G3173 goddessG2299 DianaG735 should beG3195 despisedG3049, andG2532 herG846 magnificenceG3588G3168 should be destroyedG2507, whomG3739 allG3650 AsiaG3588G773 andG2532 the worldG3588G3625 worshippethG4576.
