ylt @Acts:19:1 @And it came to pass , in Apollos ' being in Corinth , Paul having gone through the upper parts , came to Ephesus , and having found certain disciples , ylt @Acts:19:2 @he said unto them , 'The Holy Spirit did ye receive -- having believed ?' and they said unto him , 'But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit ;' ylt @Acts:19:3 @and he said unto them , 'To what , then , were ye baptized ?' and they said , 'To John 's baptism .' ylt @Acts:19:4 @And Paul said , 'John , indeed , did baptize with a baptism of reformation , saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe -- that is , in the Christ -- Jesus ;' ylt @Acts:19:5 @and they , having heard , were baptized -- to the name of the Lord Jesus , ylt @Acts:19:6 @and Paul having laid on them [his ] hands , the Holy Spirit came upon them , they were speaking also with tongues , and prophesying , ylt @Acts:19:7 @and all the men were , as it were , twelve . ylt @Acts:19:8 @And having gone into the synagogue , he was speaking boldly for three months , reasoning and persuading the things concerning the reign of God , ylt @Acts:19:9 @and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving , speaking evil of the way before the multitude , having departed from them , he did separate the disciples , every day reasoning in the school of a certain Tyrannus . ylt @Acts:19:10 @And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia did hear the word of the Lord Jesus , both Jews and Greeks , ylt @Acts:19:11 @mighty works also -- not common -- was God working through the hands of Paul , ylt @Acts:19:12 @so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons , and the sicknesses departed from them ; the evil spirits also went forth from them . ylt @Acts:19:13 @And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews , took upon [them ] to name over those having the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus , saying , 'We adjure you by Jesus , whom Paul doth preach ;' ylt @Acts:19:14 @and there were certain -- seven sons of Sceva , a Jew , a chief priest -- who are doing this thing ; ylt @Acts:19:15 @and the evil spirit , answering , said , 'Jesus I know , and Paul I am acquainted with ; and ye -- who are ye ?' ylt @Acts:19:16 @And the man , in whom was the evil spirit , leaping upon them , and having overcome them , prevailed against them , so that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house , ylt @Acts:19:17 @and this became known to all , both Jews and Greeks , who are dwelling at Ephesus , and fear fell upon them all , and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified , ylt @Acts:19:18 @many also of those who did believe were coming , confessing and declaring their acts , ylt @Acts:19:19 @and many of those who had practised the curious arts , having brought the books together , were burning [them ] before all ; and they reckoned together the prices of them , and found [it ] five myriads of silverlings ; ylt @Acts:19:20 @so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing . ylt @Acts:19:21 @And when these things were fulfilled , Paul purposed in the Spirit , having gone through Macedonia and Achaia , to go on to Jerusalem , saying -- 'After my being there , it behoveth me also to see Rome ;' ylt @Acts:19:22 @and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him -- Timotheus and Erastus -- he himself stayed a time in Asia . ylt @Acts:19:23 @And there came , at that time , not a little stir about the way , ylt @Acts:19:24 @for a certain one , Demetrius by name , a worker in silver , making silver sanctuaries of Artemis , was bringing to the artificers gain not a little , ylt @Acts:19:25 @whom , having brought in a crowd together , and those who did work about such things , he said , 'Men , ye know that by this work we have our wealth ; ylt @Acts:19:26 @and ye see and hear , that not only at Ephesus , but almost in all Asia , this Paul , having persuaded , did turn away a great multitude , saying , that they are not gods who are made by hands ; ylt @Acts:19:27 @and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard , but also , that of the great goddess Artemis the temple is to be reckoned for nothing , and also her greatness is about to be brought down , whom all Asia and the world doth worship .' ylt @Acts:19:28 @And they having heard , and having become full of wrath , were crying out , saying , 'Great [is ] the Artemis of the Ephesians !' ylt @Acts:19:29 @and the whole city was filled with confusion , they rushed also with one accord into the theatre , having caught Gaius and Aristarchus , Macedonians , Paul 's fellow-travellers . ylt @Acts:19:30 @And on Paul 's purposing to enter in unto the populace , the disciples were not suffering him , ylt @Acts:19:31 @and certain also of the chief men of Asia , being his friends , having sent unto him , were entreating him not to venture himself into the theatre . ylt @Acts:19:32 @Some indeed , therefore , were calling out one thing , and some another , for the assembly was confused , and the greater part did not know for what they were come together ; ylt @Acts:19:33 @and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander -- the Jews thrusting him forward -- and Alexander having beckoned with the hand , wished to make defence to the populace , ylt @Acts:19:34 @and having known that he is a Jew , one voice came out of all , for about two hours , crying , 'Great [is ] the Artemis of the Ephesians !' ylt @Acts:19:35 @And the public clerk having quieted the multitude , saith , 'Men , Ephesians , why , who is the man that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is a devotee of the great goddess Artemis , and of that which fell down from Zeus ? ylt @Acts:19:36 @these things , then , not being to be gainsaid , it is necessary for you to be quiet , and to do nothing rashly . ylt @Acts:19:37 @'For ye brought these men , who are neither temple-robbers nor speaking evil of your goddess ; ylt @Acts:19:38 @if indeed , therefore , Demetrius and the artificers with him with any one have a matter , court [days ] are held , and there are proconsuls ; let them accuse one another . ylt @Acts:19:39 @'And if ye seek after anything concerning other matters , in the legal assembly it shall be determined ; ylt @Acts:19:40 @for we are also in peril of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day , there being no occasion by which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse ;' ylt @Acts:19:41 @and these things having said , he dismissed the assembly .
