1 And 1161 it came to pass 1096, that, while Apollos 625 was 1511 1722 at 1722 Corinth 2882, Paul 3972 having passed 1330 through the upper 510 coasts 3313 came 2064 to 1519 Ephesus 2181: and 2532 finding 2147 certain 5100 disciples 3101,
2 He said 2036 unto 4314 them 846, 1487 Have ye received 2983 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 since ye believed 4100? And 1161 they said 2036 unto 4314 him 846, 235 We have 191 0 not so much as 3761 heard 191 whether 1487 there be any 2076 Holy 40 Ghost 4151.
3 And 5037 he said 2036 unto 4314 them 846, Unto 1519 what 5101 then 3767 were ye baptized 907? And 1161 they said 2036, Unto 1519 John's 2491 baptism 908.
4 Then 1161 said 2036 Paul 3972, John 2491 verily 3303 baptized 907 with the baptism 908 of repentance 3341, saying 3004 unto the people 2992, that 2443 they should believe 4100 on 1519 him which should come 2064 after 3326 him 846, that 5123 is, on 1519 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424.
5 When 1161 they heard 191 this, they were baptized 907 in 1519 the name 3686 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424.
6 And 2532 when Paul 3972 had laid 2007 0 his hands 5495 upon 2007 them 846, the Holy 40 Ghost 4151 came 2064 on 1909 them 846; and 5037 they spake 2980 with tongues 1100, and 2532 prophesied 4395.
7 And 1161 all 3956 the men 435 were 2258 about 5616 twelve 1177.
8 And 1161 he went 1525 into 1519 the synagogue 4864, and spake boldly 3955 for the space 1909 of three 5140 months 3376, disputing 1256 and 2532 persuading 3982 the things concerning 4012 the kingdom 932 of God 2316.
9 But 1161 when 5613 divers 5100 were hardened 4645, and 2532 believed not 544, but spake evil 2551 of that way 3598 before 1799 the multitude 4128, he departed 868 from 575 them 846, and separated 873 the disciples 3101, disputing 1256 daily 2596 2250 in 1722 the school 4981 of one 5100 Tyrannus 5181.
10 And 1161 this 5124 continued 1096 by the space 1909 of two 1417 years 2094; so 5620 that all 3956 they which dwelt in 2730 Asia 773 heard 191 the word 3056 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424, both 5037 Jews 2453 and 2532 Greeks 1672.
11 And 5037 God 2316 wrought 4160 special 3756 5177 miracles 1411 by 1223 the hands 5495 of Paul 3972:
12 So 2532 5620 that from 575 his 846 body 5559 were brought 2018 unto 1909 the sick 770 handkerchiefs 4676 or 2228 aprons 4612, and 2532 the diseases 3554 departed 525 from 575 them 846, and 5037 the evil 4190 spirits 4151 went 1831 out of 575 them 846.
13 Then 1161 certain 5100 of 575 the vagabond 4022 Jews 2453, exorcists 1845, took upon them 2021 to call 3687 over 1909 them which had 2192 evil 4190 spirits 4151 the name 3686 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424, saying 3004, We adjure 3726 you 5209 by Jesus 2424 whom 3739 Paul 3972 preacheth 2784.
14 And 1161 there were 2258 seven 2033 sons 5207 of one Sceva 4630 5100, a Jew 2453, and chief of the priests 749, which did 4160 so 5124.
15 And 1161 the evil 4190 spirit 4151 answered 611 and said 2036, Jesus 2424 I know 1097, and 2532 Paul 3972 I know 1987; but 1161 who 5101 are 2075 ye 5210?
16 And 2532 the man 444 in 1722 whom 3739 the evil 4190 spirit 4151 was 2258 leaped 2177 on 1909 them 846, and 2532 overcame 2634 them 846, and prevailed 2480 against 2596 them 846, so 5620 that they fled 1628 out of 1537 that 1565 house 3624 naked 1131 and 2532 wounded 5135.
17 And 1161 this 5124 was 1096 known 1110 to all 3956 the Jews 2453 and 5037 Greeks 1672 also 2532 dwelling 2730 at Ephesus 2181; and 2532 fear 5401 fell 1968 on 1909 them 846 all 3956, and 2532 the name 3686 of the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 was magnified 3170.
18 And 5037 many 4183 that believed 4100 came 2064, and confessed 1843, and 2532 shewed 312 their 848 deeds 4234.
19 Many 2425 of them 846 also 1161 which used 4238 curious arts 4021 brought 4851 0 their books 976 together 4851, and burned them 2618 before 1799 all 3956 men: and 2532 they counted 4860 the price 5092 of them 846, and 2532 found 2147 it fifty 4002 thousand 3461 pieces of silver 694.
20 So 3779 mightily 2596 2904 grew 837 the word 3056 of God 2962 and 2532 prevailed 2480.
21 After 1161 5613 these things 5023 were ended 4137, Paul 3972 purposed 5087 in 1722 the spirit 4151, when he had passed through 1330 Macedonia 3109 and 2532 Achaia 882, to go 4198 to 1519 Jerusalem 2419, saying 2036, After 3754 3326 I 3165 have been 1096 there 1563, I 3165 must 1163 also 2532 see 1492 Rome 4516.
22 So 1161 he sent 649 into 1519 Macedonia 3109 two 1417 of them that ministered 1247 unto him 846, Timotheus 5095 and 2532 Erastus 2037; but he himself 846 stayed 1907 in 1519 Asia 773 for a season 5550.
23 And 1161 2596 the same 1565 time 2540 there arose 1096 no 3756 small 3641 stir 5017 about 4012 that way 3598.
24 For 1063 a certain 5100 man named 3686 Demetrius 1216, a silversmith 695, which made 4160 silver 693 shrines 3485 for Diana 735, brought 3930 no 3756 small 3641 gain 2039 unto the craftsmen 5079;
25 Whom 3739 he called together 4867 with the workmen 2040 of 4012 like occupation 5108, and 2532 said 2036, Sirs 435, ye know 1987 that 3754 by 1537 this 5026 craft 2039 we have 2076 our 2257 wealth 2142.
26 Moreover 2532 ye see 2334 and 2532 hear 191, 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 and turned away 3179 much 2425 people 3793, saying 3004 that 3754 they be 1526 no 3756 gods 2316, which 3588 are made 1096 with 1223 hands 5495:
27 So 1161 that not 3756 only 3440 this 5124 our 2254 craft 3313 is in danger 2793 to be set 2064 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, and 1161 2532 her 846 magnificence 3168 should 3195 be destroyed 2507, whom 3739 all 3650 Asia 773 and 2532 the world 3625 worshippeth 4576.
28 And 1161 when they heard 191 these sayings, they were 1096 full 4134 of wrath 2372, and 2532 cried out 2896, saying 3004, Great 3173 is Diana 735 of the Ephesians 2180.
29 And 2532 the whole 3650 city 4172 was filled 4130 with confusion 4799: and 5037 having caught 4884 Gaius 1050 and 2532 Aristarchus 708, men of Macedonia 3110, Paul's 3972 companions in travel 4898, they rushed 3729 with one accord 3661 into 1519 the theatre 2302.
30 And 1161 when 1014 0 Paul 3972 would 1014 have entered 1525 in 1519 unto the people 1218, the disciples 3101 suffered 1439 him 846 not 3756.
31 And 1161 2532 certain 5100 of the chief of Asia 775, which were 5607 his 846 friends 5384, sent 3992 unto 4314 him 846, desiring 3870 him that he would 1325 0 not 3361 adventure 1325 himself 1438 into 1519 the theatre 2302.
32 Some 243 therefore 3767 3303 cried 2896 one thing 5100, and some another 243: for 1063 the assembly 1577 was 2258 confused 4797; and 2532 the more part 4119 knew 1492 not 3756 wherefore 5101 1752 they were come together 4905.
33 And 1161 they drew 4264 Alexander 223 out of 1537 the multitude 3793, the Jews 2453 putting 4261 0 him 846 forward 4261 4261. And 1161 Alexander 223 beckoned 2678 with the hand 5495, and would 2309 have made his defence 626 unto the people 1218.
34 But 1161 when they knew 1921 that 3754 he was 2076 a Jew 2453, all 3956 1096 with 1537 one 3391 voice 5456 about 5613 the space 1909 of two 1417 hours 5610 cried out 2896, Great 3173 is Diana 735 of the Ephesians 2180.
35 And 1161 when the townclerk 1122 had appeased 2687 the people 3793, he said 5346, Ye men 435 of Ephesus 2180, what 5101 1063 man 444 is there 2076 that 3739 knoweth 1097 not 3756 how that the city 4172 of the Ephesians 2180 is 5607 a worshipper 3511 of the great 3173 goddess 2299 Diana 735, and 2532 of the image which fell down from Jupiter 1356?
36 Seeing 5607 then 3767 that these things 5130 cannot be spoken against 368, ye 5209 ought 1163 2076 to be 5225 quiet 2687, and 2532 to do 4238 nothing 3367 rashly 4312.
37 For 1063 ye have brought hither 71 these 5128 men 435, which are neither 3777 robbers of churches 2417, nor yet 3777 blasphemers 987 of your 5216 goddess 2299.
38 Wherefore 3303 3767 if 1487 Demetrius 1216, and 2532 the craftsmen 5079 which are with 4862 him 846, have 2192 a matter 3056 against 4314 any man 5100, the law 60 is open 71, and 2532 there are 1526 deputies 446: let them implead 1458 one another 240.
39 But 1161 if 1487 ye enquire 1934 any thing 5100 concerning 4012 other matters 2087, it shall be determined 1956 in 1722 a lawful 1772 assembly 1577.
40 For 1063 2532 we are in danger 2793 to be called in question 1458 for 4012 this day's 4594 uproar 4714, there being 5225 no 3367 cause 158 whereby 4012 3739 we may 1410 give 591 an account 3056 of this 5026 concourse 4963.
41 And 2532 when he had 2036 0 thus 5023 spoken 2036, he dismissed 630 the assembly 1577.
