10And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
11And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
12so that even handkerchiefs, or aprons, were carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.
13Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists undertook to name over those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?
16And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them both, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices.
19Many also of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily.
21And when these things were ended, Paul resolved to pass through Macedonia and Achaia, and to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
22And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
23And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith.
24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen.
25And having called them together, with the workmen of like occupation, he said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth;
26and ye see and hear, that this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, not only of Ephesus, but of almost all Asia, saying, that those are not gods, which are made with hands.
27And there is not only danger that this branch of our business will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.
28And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!
29And the city was filled with confusion; and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel.
