ASV_Strong : Acts 19
1. And[G1161] it came to pass[G1096], that[G1722], while Apollos[G625] was[G1511] at[G1722] Corinth[G2882], Paul[G3972] having passed through[G1330] the upper[G510] country[G3313] came[G2064] to[G1519] Ephesus[G2181], and[G2532] found[G2147] certain[G5100] disciples[G3101]:
2. and he said[G2036] unto[G4314] them[G846], Did[G1487] ye receive[G2983] the Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151] when ye believed[G4100]? And[G1161] they said[G2036] unto[G4314] him[G235], Nay[G191], we did not so much as[G3761] hear[G191] whether[G1487] the Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151] was given[G2076].
3. And[G5037] he said[G2036], [G4314, 846] Into[G1519] what[G5101] then[G3767] were ye baptized[G907]? And[G1161] they said[G2036], Into[G1519] John[G2491]'s baptism[G908].
4. And[G1161] Paul[G3972] said[G2036], John[G2491, Ezekiel3] baptized[G907] with the baptism[G908] of repentance[G3341], saying[G3004] unto the people[G2992] that[G2443] they should believe[G4100] on[G1519] him that[G5124] should come[G2064] after[G3326] him[G846], that[G5124] is[G2076], on[G1519, 5547] Jesus[G2424].
5. And when[G1161] they heard[G191] this[G907], they were baptized into[G1519] the name[G3686] of the Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424].
6. And[G2532] when Paul[G3972] had laid[G2007] his hands[G5495] upon them[G846], the Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151] came[G2064] on[G1909] them[G846]; and[G5037] they spake[G2980] with tongues[G1100], and[G2532] prophesied[G4395].
7. And[G1161] they were[G2258] in all[G3956] about[G5616] twelve[G1177] men[G435].
8. And[G1161] he entered[G1525] into[G1519] the synagogue[G4864], and spake boldly[G3955] for the space of[G1909] three[G5140] months[G3376], reasoning[G1256] and[G2532] persuading[G3982] as to the things[G3588] concerning[G4012] the kingdom[G932] of God[G2316].
9. But[G1161] when[G5613] some[G5100] were hardened[G4645] and[G2532] disobedient[G544], speaking evil[G2551] of the Way[G3598] before[G1799] the multitude[G4128], he departed[G868] from[G575] them[G846], and separated[G873] the disciples[G3101], reasoning[G1256, 2596] daily[G2250] in[G1722] the school[G4981] of[G5100] Tyrannus[G5181].
10. And[G1161] this[G5124] continued[G1096] for the space of[G1909] two[G1417] years[G2094]; so that[G5620] all[G3956] they[G3588] that[G5620] dwelt[G2730] in Asia[G773] heard[G191] the word[G3056] of the Lord[G2962], both[G5037] Jews[G2453] and[G2532] Greeks[G1672].
11. And[G5037] God[G2316] wrought[G4160, 3756] special[G5177] miracles[G1411] by[G1223] the hands[G5495] of Paul[G3972]:
12. insomuch that[G5620, 2532] unto[G1909] the sick[G770] were carried[G2018] away from[G575] his[G846] body[G5559] handkerchiefs[G4676] or[G2228] aprons[G4612], and[G2532] the evil[G4190] spirits[G4151] went out[G525].
13. But[G1161] certain[G5100] also of[G575] the strolling[G4022] Jews[G2453], exorcists[G1845], took upon them[G2021] to name[G3687] over[G1909] them[G3588] that had[G2192] the evil[G4190] spirits[G4151] the name[G3686] of the Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424], saying[G3004], I adjure[G3726] you[G5209] by Jesus[G2424] whom[G3739] Paul[G3972] preacheth[G2784].
14. And[G1161] there were[G2258, Acts0] seven[G2033] sons[G5207] of[G4630] one Sceva[G4630], a Jew[G2453], a chief priest[G749], who did[G4160] this[G5124].
15. And[G1161] the evil[G4190] spirit[G4151] answered[G611] and said[G2036] unto them[G2424], Jesus I know[G1097], and[G2532] Paul[G3972] I know[G1987], but[G1161] who[G5101] are[G2075] ye[G5210]?
16. And[G2532] the man[G444] in[G1722] whom[G3739] the evil[G4190] spirit[G4151] was[G2258] leaped[G2177] on[G1909] them[G846], and[G2532] mastered[G2634] both of them[G846], and prevailed[G2480] against[G2596] them[G846], so that[G5620] they fled[G1628] out of[G1537] that[G1565] house[G3624] naked[G1131] and[G2532] wounded[G5135].
17. And[G1161] this[G5124] became[G1096] known[G1110] to all[G3956], both Jews[G2453] and[G2532] Greeks[G1672], that[G5037] dwelt[G2730] at Ephesus[G2181]; and[G2532] fear[G5401] fell[G1968] upon[G1909] them[G846] all[G3956], and[G2532] the name[G3686] of the Lord[G2962] Jesus[G2424] was magnified[G3170].
18. Many[G4183] also[G5037] of them that[G3588] had believed[G4100] came[G2064], confessing[G1843], and[G2532] declaring[G312] their[G846] deeds[G4234].
19. And not a few[G2425] of them[G3588] that practised[G4238] magical arts[G4021] brought their[G4851] books[G976] together[G4851] and burned them[G2618] in the sight[G1799] of all[G3956]; and[G2532] they counted[G4860] the price[G5092] of them[G846], and[G2532] found[G2147] it fifty[G4002] thousand[G3461] pieces of silver[G694].
20. So[G3779, 2596] mightily[G2904] grew[G837] the word[G3056] of the Lord[G2962] and[G2532] prevailed[G2480].
21. Now after[G5613] these things[G5023] were ended[G4137], Paul[G3972] purposed[G5087] in[G1722] the spirit[G4151], when he had passed through[G1330] Macedonia[G3109] and[G2532] Achaia[G882], to go[G4198] to[G1519] Jerusalem[G2419], saying[G3754], After[G3326] I[G3165] have been[G1096] there[G1563], I[G3165] must[G1163] also[G2532] see[G1492] Rome[G4516].
22. And[G1161] having sent[G649] into[G1519] Macedonia[G3109] two[G1417] of them[G3588] that ministered[G1247] unto him[G846], Timothy[G5095] and[G2532] Erastus[G2037], he[G1907] himself[G846] stayed[G1907] in[G1519] Asia[G773] for a while[G5550].
23. And[G1161] about[G2596] that[G1565] time[G2540] there arose[G1096] no[G3756] small[G3641] stir[G5017] concerning[G4012] the Way[G3598].
24. For[G1063] a certain[G5100] man named[G3686] Demetrius[G1216], a silversmith[G695], who made[G4160] silver[G693] shrines[G3485] of Diana[G735], brought[G3930] no[G3756] little[G3641] business[G2039] unto the craftsmen[G5079];
25. whom[G3739] he gathered together[G4867], with[G2532] the workmen[G2040] of[G4012] like occupation[G5108], and said[G2036], Sirs[G435], ye know[G1987] that[G3754] by[G1537] this[G3778] business[G2039] we have[G2076] our[G2257] wealth[G2142].
26. And[G2532] ye see[G2334] and[G2532] hear[G191], that[G3754] not[G3756] alone[G3440] at Ephesus[G2181], but[G235] almost[G4975] throughout[G1223] all[G3956] Asia[G773], this[G3778] Paul[G3972] hath persuaded[G3982] and turned away[G3179] much[G2425] people[G3793], saying[G3004] that[G3754] they are[G1526] no[G3756] gods[G2316], that are[G1526] made[G1096] with hands[G5495]:
27. and[G1161] not[G3756] only[G3440] is there danger[G2793] that[G1161] this[G5124] our[G2254] trade[G3313] come[G2064] into[G1519] disrepute[G557]; but[G235] also[G2532] that the[G3588] temple[G2411] of the great[G3173] goddess[G2299] Diana[G735] be made of no account[G1161], and[G2532] that she should even be deposed[G2507] from[G2532] her[G846] magnificence[G3168] whom[G3739] all[G3650] Asia[G773] and[G2532] the world[G3625] worshippeth[G4576].
28. And[G1161] when they heard[G191] this they were[G1096] filled[G4134] with wrath[G2372], and[G2532] cried out[G2896], saying[G3004], Great[G3173] is Diana[G735] of the Ephesus[G2180].
29. And[G2532] the[G3650] city[G4172] was filled[G4130] with the confusion[G4799]: and[G5037] they rushed[G3729] with one accord[G3661] into[G1519] the theatre[G2302], having seized[G4884] Gaius[G1050] and[G2532] Aristarchus[G708], men of Macedonia[G3110], Paul[G3972]'s companions in travel[G4898].
30. And[G1161] when Paul[G3972] was minded[G1014] to enter in[G1525] unto[G1519] the people[G1218], the disciples[G3101] suffered[G1439] him[G846] not[G3756].
31. And[G1161] certain[G5100] also of the Asiarchs[G775], being[G5607] his[G846] friends[G5384], sent[G3992] unto[G4314] him[G846] and besought[G3870] him[G846] not[G3361] to adventure himself[G1438] into[G1519] the theatre[G2302].
32. Some[G243] therefore[G3767] cried one thing[G2896], and[G3303] some[G243] another[G5100]: for[G1063] the assembly[G1577] was[G2258] in confusion[G4797]; and[G2532] the more part[G4119] knew[G1492] not[G3756, Acts1] wherefore[G1752] they were come together[G4905].
33. And[G1161] they brought[G4264] Alexander[G223] out of[G1537] the multitude[G3793], the Jews[G2453] putting[G4261] him[G846] forward[G4261]. And[G1161] Alexander[G223] beckoned[G2678] with the hand[G5495], and would have[G2309] made a defense[G626] unto the people[G1218].
34. But[G1161] when they perceived[G1921] that[G3754] he was[G2076] a Jew[G1537], all[G3956] with[G1096] one[G1520] voice[G5456] about the space[G5613] of[G1909] two[G1417] hours[G5610] cried out[G2896], Great[G3173] is Diana[G735] of the Ephesians[G2180].
35. And[G1161] when the townclerk[G1122] had quieted[G2687] the multitude[G3793], he saith[G5346], Ye men[G435] of Ephesus[G1063], what[G5101] man[G444] is there[G2076] who[G3739] knoweth[G1097] not[G3756] that[G3739] the city[G4172] of the Ephesians[G2180] is[G5607] temple-keeper[G3511] of the great[G3173] Diana[G735], and[G2532] of the[G1356] image which fell down from Jupiter[G1356]?
36. Seeing[G5607] then that[G3767] these things[G5130] cannot be gainsaid[G368], ye[G5209, Exodus76] ought[G1163] to be[G5225] quiet[G2687], and[G2532] to do[G4238] nothing[G3367] rash[G4312].
37. For[G1063] ye have brought hither[G71] these[G5128] men[G435], who are[G3588] neither[G3777] robbers of temples[G2417] nor[G3777] blasphemers[G987] of our[G5216] goddess[G2299].
38. If[G1487, Ezekiel3] therefore[G3767] Demetrius[G1216], and[G2532] the craftsmen[G5079] that are[G3588] with[G4862] him[G846], have[G2192] a matter[G3056] against[G4314] any man[G5100], the courts[G60] are open[G71], and[G2532] there are[G1526] proconsuls[G446]: let them accuse[G1458] one another[G240].
39. But[G1161] if[G1487] ye seek[G1934] anything[G5100] about[G4012] other matters[G2087], it shall be settled[G1956] in[G1722] the regular[G1772] assembly[G1577].
40. For[G1063] indeed we are in danger[G2793, 2532] to be accused[G1458] concerning[G4012] this day[G4594]'s riot[G4714], there being[G5225] no[G3367] cause for[G4012] it[G3739]: and as touching it we shall[G1410] not be able to give[G591] account[G3056] of[G4012] this[G3778] concourse[G4963].
41. And[G2532] when he had[G2036] thus[G5023] spoken[G2036], he dismissed[G630] the assembly[G1577].
