19:1 And 1161 it came to pass 1096 5633, that, while Apollos 625 was 1511 5750 1722 at 1722 Corinth 2882, Paul 3972 having passed 1330 5631 through the upper 510 coasts 3313 came 2064 5629 to 1519 Ephesus 2181: and 2532 finding 2147 5631 certain 5100 disciples 3101,

19:2 He said 2036 5627 unto 4314 them 846, 1487 Have ye received 2983 5627 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 since ye believed 4100 5660? And 1161 they said 2036 5627 unto 4314 him 846, 235 We have 191 0 not so much as 3761 heard 191 5656 whether 1487 there be any 2076 5748 Holy 40 Ghost 4151.

19:3 And 5037 he said 2036 5627 unto 4314 them 846, Unto 1519 what 5101 then 3767 were ye baptized 907 5681? And 1161 they said 2036 5627, Unto 1519 John's 2491 baptism 908.

19:4 Then 1161 said 2036 5627 Paul 3972, John 2491 verily 3303 baptized 907 5656 with the baptism 908 of repentance 3341, saying 3004 5723 unto the people 2992, that 2443 they should believe 4100 5661 on 1519 him which should come 2064 5740 after 3326 him 846, that is 5123 5748, on 1519 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424.

19:5 When 1161 they heard 191 5660 [this], they were baptized 907 5681 in 1519 the name 3686 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424.

19:6 And 2532 when Paul 3972 had laid 2007 0 [his] hands 5495 upon 2007 5631 them 846, the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 came 2064 5627 on 1909 them 846; and 5037 they spake 2980 5707 with tongues 1100, and 2532 prophesied 4395 5707.

19:7 And 1161 all 3956 the men 435 were 2258 5713 about 5616 twelve 1177.

19:8 And 1161 he went 1525 5631 into 1519 the synagogue 4864, and spake boldly 3955 5711 for the space 1909 of three 5140 months 3376, disputing 1256 5740 and 2532 persuading 3982 5723 the things concerning 4012 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.

19:9 But 1161 when 5613 divers 5100 were hardened 4645 5712, and 2532 believed not 544 5707, but spake evil 2551 5723 of that way 3598 before 1799 the multitude 4128, he departed 868 5631 from 575 them 846, and separated 873 5656 the disciples 3101, disputing 1256 5740 daily 2596 2250 in 1722 the school 4981 of one 5100 Tyrannus 5181.

19:10 And 1161 this 5124 continued 1096 5633 by the space 1909 of two 1417 years 2094; so 5620 that all 3956 they which dwelt in 2730 5723 Asia 773 heard 191 5658 the word 3056 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424, both 5037 Jews 2453 and 2532 Greeks 1672.

19:11 And 5037 God 2316 wrought 4160 5707 special 3756 5177 5631 miracles 1411 by 1223 the hands 5495 of Paul 3972:

19:12 So 2532 5620 that from 575 his 846 body 5559 were brought 2018 5745 unto 1909 the sick 770 5723 handkerchiefs 4676 or 2228 aprons 4612, and 2532 the diseases 3554 departed 525 5745 from 575 them 846, and 5037 the evil 4190 spirits 4151 went 1831 5738 out of 575 them 846.

19:13 Then 1161 certain 5100 of 575 the vagabond 4022 5740 Jews 2453, exorcists 1845, took upon them 2021 5656 to call 3687 5721 over 1909 them which had 2192 5723 evil 4190 spirits 4151 the name 3686 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424, saying 3004 5723, We adjure 3726 5719 you 5209 by Jesus 2424 whom 3739 Paul 3972 preacheth 2784 5719.

19:14 And 1161 there were 2258 5713 seven 2033 sons 5207 of [one] Sceva 4630 5100, a Jew 2453, [and] chief of the priests 749, which did 4160 5723 so 5124.

19:15 And 1161 the evil 4190 spirit 4151 answered 611 5679 and said 2036 5627, Jesus 2424 I know 1097 5719, and 2532 Paul 3972 I know 1987 5736; but 1161 who 5101 are 2075 5748 ye 5210?

19:16 And 2532 the man 444 in 1722 whom 3739 the evil 4190 spirit 4151 was 2258 5713 leaped 2177 5740 on 1909 them 846, and 2532 overcame 2634 5660 them 846, and prevailed 2480 5656 against 2596 them 846, so 5620 that they fled 1628 5629 out of 1537 that 1565 house 3624 naked 1131 and 2532 wounded 5135 5772.

19:17 And 1161 this 5124 was 1096 5633 known 1110 to all 3956 the Jews 2453 and 5037 Greeks 1672 also 2532 dwelling 2730 5723 at Ephesus 2181; and 2532 fear 5401 fell 1968 5627 on 1909 them 846 all 3956, and 2532 the name 3686 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 was magnified 3170 5712.

19:18 And 5037 many 4183 that believed 4100 5761 came 2064 5711, and confessed 1843 5734, and 2532 shewed 312 5723 their 846 deeds 4234.

19:19 Many 2425 of them also 1161 which used 4238 5660 curious arts 4021 brought 4851 0 their books 976 together 4851 5631, and burned them 2618 5707 before 1799 all 3956 [men]: and 2532 they counted 4860 5656 the price 5092 of them 846, and 2532 found 2147 5627 [it] fifty 4002 thousand 3461 [pieces] of silver 694.

19:20 So 3779 mightily 2596 2904 grew 837 5707 the word 3056 of God 2962 and 2532 prevailed 2480 5707.

19:21 After 1161 5613 these things 5023 were ended 4137 5681, Paul 3972 purposed 5087 5639 in 1722 the spirit 4151, when he had passed through 1330 5631 Macedonia 3109 and 2532 Achaia 882, to go 4198 5738 to 1519 Jerusalem 2419, saying 2036 5631, After 3754 3326 I 3165 have been 1096 5635 there 1563, I 3165 must 1163 5748 also 2532 see 1492 5629 Rome 4516.

19:22 So 1161 he sent 649 5660 into 1519 Macedonia 3109 two 1417 of them that ministered 1247 5723 unto him 846, Timotheus 5095 and 2532 Erastus 2037; but he himself 846 stayed 1907 5627 in 1519 Asia 773 for a season 5550.

19:23 And 1161 2596 the same 1565 time 2540 there arose 1096 5633 no 3756 small 3641 stir 5017 about 4012 that way 3598.

19:24 For 1063 a certain 5100 [man] named 3686 Demetrius 1216, a silversmith 695, which made 4160 5723 silver 693 shrines 3485 for Diana 735, brought 3930 5710 no 3756 small 3641 gain 2039 unto the craftsmen 5079;

19:25 Whom 3739 he called together 4867 5660 with the workmen 2040 of 4012 like occupation 5108, and 2532 said 2036 5627, Sirs 435, ye know 1987 5736 that 3754 by 1537 this 5026 craft 2039 we have 2076 5748 our 2257 wealth 2142.

19:26 Moreover 2532 ye see 2334 5719 and 2532 hear 191 5719, that 3754 not 3756 alone 3440 at Ephesus 2181, but 235 almost 4975 throughout all 3956 Asia 773, this 3778 Paul 3972 hath persuaded 3982 5660 and turned away 3179 5656 much 2425 people 3793, saying 3004 5723 that 3754 they be 1526 5748 no 3756 gods 2316, which 3588 are made 1096 5740 with 1223 hands 5495:

19:27 So 1161 that not 3756 only 3440 this 5124 our 2254 craft 3313 is in danger 2793 5719 to be set 2064 5629 at 1519 nought 557; but 235 also 2532 that the temple 2411 of the great 3173 goddess 2299 Diana 735 should be despised 1519 3762 3049 5683, and 1161 2532 her 846 magnificence 3168 should 3195 5721 be destroyed 2507 5745, whom 3739 all 3650 Asia 773 and 2532 the world 3625 worshippeth 4576 5736.(set at nought: or, brought into disrepute, or, contempt)

19:28 And 1161 when they heard 191 5660 [these sayings], they were 1096 5637 full 4134 of wrath 2372, and 2532 cried out 2896 5707, saying 3004 5723, Great 3173 [is] Diana 735 of the Ephesians 2180.

19:29 And 2532 the whole 3650 city 4172 was filled 4130 5681 with confusion 4799: and 5037 having caught 4884 5660 Gaius 1050 and 2532 Aristarchus 708, men of Macedonia 3110, Paul's 3972 companions in travel 4898, they rushed 3729 5656 with one accord 3661 into 1519 the theatre 2302.

19:30 And 1161 when 1014 0 Paul 3972 would 1014 5740 have entered 1525 5629 in 1519 unto the people 1218, the disciples 3101 suffered 1439 5707 him 846 not 3756.

19:31 And 1161 2532 certain 5100 of the chief of Asia 775, which were 5607 5752 his 846 friends 5384, sent 3992 5660 unto 4314 him 846, desiring 3870 5707 [him] that he would 1325 0 not 3361 adventure 1325 5629 himself 1438 into 1519 the theatre 2302.

19:32 Some 243 therefore 3767 3303 cried 2896 5707 one thing 5100, and some another 243: for 1063 the assembly 1577 was 2258 5713 confused 4797 5772; and 2532 the more part 4119 knew 1492 5715 not 3756 wherefore 5101 1752 they were come together 4905 5715.

19:33 And 1161 they drew 4264 5656 Alexander 223 out of 1537 the multitude 3793, the Jews 2453 putting 4261 0 him 846 forward 4261 5660 5625 4261 5723. And 1161 Alexander 223 beckoned 2678 5660 with the hand 5495, and would 2309 5707 have made his defence 626 5738 unto the people 1218.

19:34 But 1161 when they knew 1921 5631 that 3754 he was 2076 5748 a Jew 2453, all 3956 1096 5633 with 1537 one 3391 voice 5456 about 5613 the space 1909 of two 1417 hours 5610 cried out 2896 5723, Great 3173 [is] Diana 735 of the Ephesians 2180.

19:35 And 1161 when the townclerk 1122 had appeased 2687 5660 the people 3793, he said 5346 5748, [Ye] men 435 of Ephesus 2180, what 5101 1063 man 444 is there 2076 5748 that 3739 knoweth 1097 5719 not 3756 how that the city 4172 of the Ephesians 2180 is 5607 5752 a worshipper 3511 of the great 3173 goddess 2299 Diana 735, and 2532 of the [image] which fell down from Jupiter 1356?(a worshipper: Gr. the temple keeper)

19:36 Seeing 5607 5752 then 3767 that these things 5130 cannot be spoken against 368, ye 5209 ought 1163 5752 2076 5748 to be 5225 5721 quiet 2687 5772, and 2532 to do 4238 5721 nothing 3367 rashly 4312.

19:37 For 1063 ye have brought hither 71 5627 these 5128 men 435, which are neither 3777 robbers of churches 2417, nor yet 3777 blasphemers 987 5723 of your 5216 goddess 2299.

19:38 Wherefore 3303 3767 if 1487 Demetrius 1216, and 2532 the craftsmen 5079 which are with 4862 him 846, have 2192 5719 a matter 3056 against 4314 any man 5100, the law 60 is open 71 5743, and 2532 there are 1526 5748 deputies 446: let them implead 1458 5720 one another 240.(the law…: or, the court days are kept)

19:39 But 1161 if 1487 ye enquire 1934 5719 any thing 5100 concerning 4012 other matters 2087, it shall be determined 1956 5701 in 1722 a lawful 1772 assembly 1577.(lawful: or, ordinary)

19:40 For 1063 2532 we are in danger 2793 5719 to be called in question 1458 5745 for 4012 this day's 4594 uproar 4714, there being 5225 5723 no 3367 cause 158 whereby 4012 3739 we may 1410 5695 give 591 5629 an account 3056 of this 5026 concourse 4963.

19:41 And 2532 when he had 2036 0 thus 5023 spoken 2036 5631, he dismissed 630 5656 the assembly 1577.
