Acts 19:2-24

²And saide vnto them, Haue ye receiued the holy Ghost since ye beleeued? And they saide vnto him, Wee haue not so much as heard whether there be an holy Ghost.

³And he said vnto them, Vnto what were ye then baptized? And they saide, Vnto Iohns baptisme.

⁴Then saide Paul, Iohn verely baptized with the baptisme of repentance, saying vnto the people, that they shoulde beleeue in him, which should come after him, that is, in Christ Iesus.

⁵And when they heard it, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Iesus.

⁶So Paul layde his handes vpon them, and the holy Ghost came on them, and they spake the tongues, and prophecied.

⁷And all the men were about twelue.

⁸Moreouer he went into the Synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three moneths, disputing and exhorting to the things that appertaine to the kingdome of God.

⁹But when certaine were hardened, and disobeyed, speaking euill of the way of God before the multitude, hee departed from them, and separated the disciples, and disputed dayly in the schoole of one Tyrannus.

¹⁰And this was done by the space of two yeeres, so that all they which dwelt in Asia, heard the word of ye Lord Iesus, both Iewes and Grecians.

¹¹And God wrought no small miracles by the handes of Paul,

¹²So that from his body were brought vnto the sicke, kerchefs or handkerchefs, and the diseases departed from them, and the euill spirits went out of them.

¹³Then certaine of the vagabond Iewes, exorcistes, tooke in hand to name ouer them which had euil spirits, the Name of the Lord Iesus, saying, We adiure you by Iesus, whom Paul preacheth.

¹⁴(And there were certaine sonnes of Sceua a Iewe, the Priest, about seuen which did this)

¹⁵And the euil spirit answered, and said, Iesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know: but who are ye?

¹⁶And the man in whome the euil spirit was, ranne on them, and ouercame them, and preuailed against them, so that they fledde out of that house, naked, and wounded.

¹⁷And this was knowen to all the Iewes and Grecians also, which dwelt at Ephesus, and feare came on them all, and the Name of the Lord Iesus was magnified,

¹⁸And many that beleeued, came and confessed, and shewed their workes.

¹⁹Many also of them which vsed curious artes, brought their bookes, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fiftie thousand pieces of siluer.

²⁰So the worde of God grewe mightily, and preuailed.

²¹Nowe when these things were accomplished, Paul purposed by the Spirite to passe through Macedonia and Achaia, and to goe to Hierusalem, saying, After I haue bene there, I must also see Rome.

²²So sent hee into Macedonia two of them that ministred vnto him, Timotheus and Erastus, but he remained in Asia for a season.

²³And the same time there arose no small trouble about that way.

²⁴For a certaine man named Demetrius a siluersmith, which made siluer temples of Diana, brought great gaines vnto the craftesmen,
