- It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples.
- He said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" And they said to him, "No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."
- And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, "Into John's baptism."
- Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus."
- When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

- While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples
- and asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit."
- So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?" "John's baptism," they replied.
- Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus."
- On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
|
- And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.
- There were in all about twelve men.
- And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.
- But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
- This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

- When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.
- There were about twelve men in all.
- Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.
- But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
- This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.
|
- God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
- so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out.
- But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."
- Seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
- And the evil spirit answered and said to them, "I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you?"
|
- God did extraordinary miracles through Paul,
- so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.
- Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, "In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out."
- Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
- (One day) the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?"
|
- And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
- This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.
- Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices.
- And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
- So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing.
|
- Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.
- When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.
- Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds.
- A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.
- In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.
|
- Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."
- And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
|
- After all this had happened, Paul decided to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. "After I have been there," he said, "I must visit Rome also."
- He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he stayed in the province of Asia a little longer.
