Chapter 19 And it came to pass,
that while Apollos was at Corinth,

00:05.900 --> 00:09.500
Paul, having passed through the upper
coasts, came to Ephesus, and finding

00:09.500 --> 00:13.340
certain disciples, he said unto them,
Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye

00:13.340 --> 00:13.760
believed?

00:14.060 --> 00:18.260
And they said unto him, We have not so
much as heard whether there be any Holy

00:18.260 --> 00:18.760
Ghost.

00:18.900 --> 00:21.700
And he said unto them, Unto what then were
ye baptized?

00:22.140 --> 00:24.220
And they said, Unto John's baptism.

00:24.580 --> 00:30.700
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with
the baptism of repentance, saying unto the

00:30.700 --> 00:35.720
people, That they should believe on him
which should come after him, that is,

00:36.360 --> 00:37.380
on Christ Jesus.

00:38.040 --> 00:41.380
When they heard this, they were baptized
in the name of the Lord Jesus.

00:42.080 --> 00:45.720
And when Paul had laid his hands upon
them, the Holy Ghost came on them,

00:45.900 --> 00:47.900
and they spake with tongues and
prophesied.

00:48.400 --> 00:50.280
And all the men were about twelve.

00:51.020 --> 00:54.880
And he went into the synagogue and spake
boldly for the space of three months,

00:55.260 --> 00:58.340
disputing and persuading the things
concerning the kingdom of God.

00:58.340 --> 01:03.140
But when divers were hardened,
and believed not, but spake evil of that

01:03.140 --> 01:07.540
way before the multitude, he departed from
them, and separated the disciples,

01:07.820 --> 01:10.360
disputing daily in the school of one
Tyrannus.

01:10.940 --> 01:15.320
And this continued by the space of two
years, so that all they which dwelt in

01:15.320 --> 01:18.760
Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus,
both Jews and Greeks.

01:19.320 --> 01:24.220
And God wrought special miracles by the
hands of Paul, so that from his body were

01:24.220 --> 01:28.780
brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or
aprons, and the diseases departed from

01:28.780 --> 01:31.060
them, and the evil spirits went out of
them.

01:32.440 --> 01:37.300
Then certain of the vagabond Jews,
exorcists, took upon them to call over

01:37.300 --> 01:41.460
them which had evil spirits the name of
the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by

01:41.460 --> 01:43.080
Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.

01:43.180 --> 01:47.240
And there were seven sons of one Siva,
a Jew and chief of the priests,

01:47.320 --> 01:48.060
which did so.

01:48.700 --> 01:53.540
And the evil spirit answered and said,
Jesus I know, and Paul I know,

01:54.040 --> 01:55.260
but who are ye?

01:55.260 --> 02:00.440
And the man in whom the evil spirit was
leaped on them and overcame them and

02:00.440 --> 02:04.540
prevailed against them, so that they fled
out of that house naked and wounded.

02:05.500 --> 02:08.800
And this was known to all the Jews and
Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus.

02:09.020 --> 02:13.640
And fear fell on them all, and the name of
the Lord Jesus was magnified.

02:14.220 --> 02:17.820
And many that believed came and confessed
and showed their deeds.

02:18.480 --> 02:22.660
Many of them also which used curious arts
brought their books together and burned

02:22.660 --> 02:23.840
them before all men.

02:23.840 --> 02:28.540
And they counted the price of them and
found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

02:29.260 --> 02:32.020
So mightily grew the word of God and
prevailed.

02:33.480 --> 02:37.040
After these things were ended,
Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had

02:37.040 --> 02:40.760
passed through Macedonia and Achaia,
to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have

02:40.760 --> 02:43.440
been there, I must also see Rome.

02:44.000 --> 02:48.500
So he sent into Macedonia two of them that
ministered unto him, Timotheus and

02:48.500 --> 02:49.040
Erastus.

02:49.600 --> 02:51.740
But he himself stayed in Asia for a
season.

02:52.670 --> 02:56.320
And the same time, there arose no small
stir about that way.

02:56.840 --> 03:01.240
For a certain man named Demetrius,
a silversmith which made silver shrines

03:01.240 --> 03:05.980
for Diana, brought no small gain unto the
craftsman, whom he called together with

03:05.980 --> 03:11.420
the workmen of like occupation and said,
Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have

03:11.420 --> 03:12.020
our wealth.

03:12.740 --> 03:17.860
Moreover, ye see and hear that not alone
at Ephesus, but almost throughout all

03:17.860 --> 03:23.990
Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned
away much people, saying that they be no

03:23.990 --> 03:25.810
gods which are made with hands.

03:26.330 --> 03:32.170
So that not only this our craft is in
danger to be set at naught, but also that

03:32.170 --> 03:37.190
the temple of the great goddess Diana
should be despised, and her magnificence

03:37.190 --> 03:41.910
should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the
world worshipeth.

03:42.070 --> 03:45.530
And when they heard these sayings,
they were full of wrath and cried out,

03:45.630 --> 03:48.590
saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians!

03:48.590 --> 03:50.950
And the whole city was filled with
confusion.

03:51.590 --> 03:55.770
And having caught Gaius and Aristarchus,
men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in

03:55.770 --> 03:58.510
travel, they rushed with one accord into
the theater.

03:59.230 --> 04:02.770
And when Paul would have entered in unto
the people, the disciples suffered him

04:02.770 --> 04:03.070
not.

04:03.650 --> 04:07.570
And certain of the chief of Asia,
which were his friends, sent unto him,

04:07.950 --> 04:10.750
desiring him that he would not adventure
himself into the theater.

04:11.490 --> 04:15.790
Some therefore cried one thing and some
another, for the assembly was confused,

04:16.090 --> 04:18.870
and the more part knew not wherefore they
were come together.

04:19.570 --> 04:23.190
And they drew Alexander out of the
multitude, the Jews putting him forward.

04:23.950 --> 04:27.270
And Alexander beckoned with the hand and
would have made his defense unto the

04:27.270 --> 04:27.510
people.

04:27.910 --> 04:31.970
But when they knew that he was a Jew,
all with one voice about the space of two

04:31.970 --> 04:35.690
hours, cried out, Great is Diana of the
Ephesians!

04:35.990 --> 04:39.590
And when the town clerk had appeased the
people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus,

04:40.530 --> 04:45.170
what man is there that knoweth not how
that the city of the Ephesians is the

04:45.170 --> 04:49.450
worshipper of the great goddess Diana,
and of the image which fell down from

04:49.450 --> 04:49.750
Jupiter?

04:51.030 --> 04:55.510
Seeing then that these things cannot be
spoken against, ye ought to be quiet,

04:56.070 --> 04:57.330
and to do nothing rashly.

04:58.370 --> 05:02.050
For ye have brought hither these men,
which are neither robbers of churches,

05:02.410 --> 05:04.210
nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

05:05.390 --> 05:09.790
Wherefore, if Demetrius, and the craftsmen
which are with him, have a matter against

05:09.790 --> 05:12.650
any man, the law is open, and there are
deputies.

05:12.650 --> 05:14.870
Let them implead one another.

05:16.070 --> 05:20.490
But if ye inquire anything concerning
other matters, it shall be determined in a

05:20.490 --> 05:21.330
lawful assembly.

05:22.270 --> 05:25.750
For we are in danger to be called in
question for this day's uproar,

05:26.510 --> 05:29.890
there being no cause whereby we may give
an account of this concourse.

05:30.290 --> 05:33.090
And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed
the assembly.
