Acts 19:6-22

⁶And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied.

⁷And the men were about twelve in all.

⁸And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.

⁹But when some were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of the way of the Lord before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of Tyrannus.

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.
