Acts - Chapter: 19


19:1	It fortuned that whyll Apollo was at Corinthum, Paul passed thorowe the vpper coastes, and came to Ephesus, and founde certayne dysciples,
19:2	and sayde vnto them haue ye receaued the holy ghost, sence ye beleued? And they sayde vnto hym: no, we haue not hearde whether ther be eny holy ghost or no.
19:3	And he sayde vnto them. wherwith were ye then baptysed? And they sayde: with Iohns baptyme.
19:4	Then sayde Paul: Iohn verely baptysed with the baptim of repentaunce, sayinge vnto the people that they shulde beleue on hym, which shuld come after him: that is on Christ Iesus.
19:5	When they hearde thys, they were baptysed in the name of the Lorde Iesu.
19:6	And whan Paul layde hys handes vpon them. the holy ghost came on them, and they spake with tonges, and prophesyed,
19:7	and all the men were aboute twelue.
19:8	And he went into the synagoge, and behaued hym selfe boldely for the space of thre monethes, disputinge and geuinge them exhortacions of the kyngdome of God.
19:9	When dyuers wexed hard herted and beleued not, but spake euyll of the waye (and that before the multitude) he departed from them, and seperated the disciples. And he disputed dayly in the scole of one called Tyranus.
19:10	And this contynued by the space of two yeares: so that all they which dwelt in Asia, heard the worde of the Lorde Iesu, both Iewes and Grekes.
19:11	And God wrought speciall myracles by the handes of Paul:
19:12	so that from his body, were brought vnto the sicke, napkins & partelettes, & the diseases departed from them, and the euyll spretes went out of them.
19:13	Then certayne of the vagabunde Iewes exorcistes, toke vpon them to call ouer them (which had euyll spretes) the name of the Lorde Iesus, sayinge: We adiure you by Iesu, whom Paul preacheth.
19:14	And ther were seuen sonnes of one Sceua a Iew and chefe of the prestes which dyd so.
19:15	And the euyll sprete answered and sayd: Iesus I knowe, & Paul I knowe: but who are ye?
19:16	And the man in whom the euyll sprete was, ranne on them, and ouercame them, and preuayled agaynst them so that they fledd out of that house naked and wounded.
19:17	And this was knowen to all the Iewes and Grekes also, which dwelt at Ephesus, & feare came on them all, & the name of the Lorde Iesus was magnyfyed.
19:18	And many that beleued, cam, and confessed and shewed their worckes.
19:19	Many of them which vsed curious craftes, brought their bokes, and burned them before all men, and they counted the pryce of them, and founde it fyfty thousand syluerlynges.
19:20	So mightely grewe the word of God, and preuayled.
19:21	After these thynges were ended, Paul purposed in the sprete (whan he had passed ouer Macedonia and Achaia) to go to Ierusalem, saying: After I haue bene there, I must also se Rome.
19:22	So sent he into Macedonia two of them that ministred vnto hym, euen Timotheus & Erastus: but he hym selfe remayned in Asia for a season.
19:23	The same tyme ther arose no lytell a do aboute that waye.
19:24	For a certayne man named Demetrius, a syluersmyth (which made syluer shrynes for Diana) was not a lytell beneficiall vnto the craftesmen.
19:25	Whom he called together with the workemen of lyke occupacion, and sayd: Syrs, ye knowe that by this crafte we haue aduauntage.
19:26	Moreouer, ye se & heare that not alone at Ephesus, but allmost thorowe out all Asia, thys Paul hath persuaded & turned awaye moche people sayinge, that they be not goddes which are made with handes.
19:27	So that not only this oure crafte cometh into parell to be set at nought: but also that the temple of the greate Goddesse Diana shulde be despysed, & her magnificence shulde be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshyppeth.
19:28	When they hearde these sayinges, they were full of wrathe, & cryed out, sayinge. Greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
19:29	And al the cytie was on a rore, and they russhed into the comen hall with one assent, & caught Gaius and Aristarcus, men of Macedonia, Pauls companions.
19:30	When Paul wolde haue entred in vnto the people, the dysciples suffred hym not.
19:31	But certayne of the chefe of Asia (which were his frendes) sent vnto him, desyrynge him, that he wolde not preace into the comen hall.
19:32	Some therfore cryed one thyng and some another, & the congregacion was all out of quiete, & the moare parte knewe not wherfore they were come together.
19:33	Some of the company drue forth Alexander, the Iewes thrustynge hym forwardes. Alexander: beckened with the hande, and wolde haue geuen the people an answer.
19:34	When they knewe that he was a Iewe, ther arose a shoute almost for the space of two houres, of all men, cryinge: greate is Diana of the Ephesyans.
19:35	When the towne clarcke had ceased the people, he sayde: ye men of Ephesus, what man is it that knoweth not how that the cytie of the Ephesyans is a worshypper of the great goddesse Diana, of the ymage which cam from heauen.
19:36	Seinge then that no man sayth here agaynst, ye ought to be content, and to do nothynge rashly:
19:37	for ye haue brought hyther these men: which are nether robbers of churches, not yet despisers of youre goddesse
19:38	Wherfore, yf Demetrius and the craftes men which are with hym, haue a matter agaynst eny man, the lawe is open, and ther are rulers, let them accuse one another.
19:39	But yf ye goo aboute eny other thynge, it shall be determined in a lawfull congregacyon.
19:40	For we are in ieopardy to be accused of thys dayes vproure, for as moche as ther is no cause, wherby we maye geue a rekenynge of thys concourse of people.
19:41	And when he had thus spoken, he let the congregacion departe.


19:1	And it bifelle, whanne Apollo was at Corinthi, that Poul whanne he hadde go the hiyer coostis, he cam to Efesie, and foond summe of disciplis.
19:2	And he seide to hem, Whethir ye that bileuen han resseyued the Hooli Goost? And thei seiden to hym, But nether `han we herd, if the Hooli Goost is.
19:3	And he seide, Therfor in what thing ben ye baptisid? And thei seiden, In the baptym of Joon.
19:4	And Poul seide, Joon baptiside the puple in baptym of penaunce, and tauyte, that thei schulden bileue in hym that was to comynge `after hym, that is, in Jhesu.
19:5	Whanne thei herden these thingis, thei weren baptisid in the name of the Lord Jhesu.
19:6	And whanne Poul hadde leid on hem his hoondis, the Hooli Goost cam in hem, and thei spaken with langagis, and profecieden.
19:7	And alle weren almest twelue men.
19:8	And he yede in to the synagoge, and spak with trist thre monethis, disputinge and tretinge of the kingdom of God.
19:9	But whanne summe weren hardid, and bileueden not, and cursiden the weie of the Lord bifor the multitude, he yede awei fro hem, and departide the disciplis, and disputide in the scole of a myyti man eche dai.
19:10	This was doon bi twei yeeris, so that alle that dwelliden in Asie herden the word of the Lord, Jewis and hethene men.
19:11	And God dide vertues not smale bi the hoond of Poul,
19:12	so that on sijk men the sudaries weren borun fro his bodye, and sijknessis departiden fro hem, and wickid spiritis wenten out.
19:13	But also summe of the Jewis exorsisists yeden aboute, and assaieden to clepe the name of the Lord Jhesu Crist on hem that hadden yuele spiritis, and seiden, Y coniure you bi Jhesu, whom Poul prechith.
19:14	And ther weren seuene sones of a Jewe, Steuen, a prince of preestis, that diden this thing.
19:15	But the yuel spirit answeride, and seide to hem, Y knowe Jhesu, and Y knowe Poul; but who ben ye?
19:16	And the man in which was the worste deuel, lippide on hem, and hadde victorie of bothe, and was stronge ayens hem, that thei nakid and woundid fledden awei fro that hous.
19:17	And this thing was maad knowun to alle the Jewis and to hethene men, that dwelliden at Effesie; and drede felle doun on hem alle, and thei magnyfieden the name of the Lord Jhesu.
19:18	And many men bileueden, and camen, knowlechinge and tellynge her dedis.
19:19	And manye of them that sueden curiouse thingis, brouyten togidere bookis, and brenneden hem bifor alle men; and whanne the prices of tho weren acountid, thei founden monei of fifti thousynd pens;
19:20	so strongli the word of God wexide, and was confermyd.
19:21	And whanne these thingis weren fillid, Poul purposide in spirit, aftir that Macedony was passid and Acaie, to go to Jerusalem, and seide, For aftir that Y schal be there, it bihoueth me `to se also Rome.
19:22	And he sente in to Macedonye twey men, that mynystriden to hym, Tymothe, and Eraste, and he dwellide for a tyme in Asie.
19:23	And a greet troubling was maad in that dai, of the weie of the Lord.
19:24	For a man, Demetrie bi name, a worcher in siluer, makide siluer housis to Diane, and yaf to crafti men myche wynnyng;
19:25	which he clepide togidere `hem that weren suche maner werkmen, and seide, Men, ye witen that of this craft wynnyng is to vs;
19:26	and ye seen and heren, that this Poul counseilith and turneth awei myche puple, not oonli of Effesie, but almest of al Asie, and seith, that thei ben not goddis, that ben maad with hoondis.
19:27	And not oonli this part schal be in perel to vs, to come in to repreef, but also the temple of the greet Dian schal be acountid in to nouyt; yhe, and the maieste of hir schal bigynne to be destried, whom al Asie and the world worschipith.
19:28	Whanne these thingis weren herd, thei weren fillid with ire, and crieden, and seiden, Greet is the Dian of Effesians.
19:29	And the citee was fillid with confusioun, and thei maden an asaut with oon wille in to the teaatre, and tooken Gayus and Aristark, men of Macedonye, felawis of Poul.
19:30	And whanne Poul would haue entrid in to the peple, the disciplis suffriden not.
19:31	And also summe of the princis of Asie, that weren hise freendis, senten to him. and preieden, that he schulde not yyue hym silf in to the teatre.
19:32	And othere men crieden othir thing; for the chirche was confusid, and many wisten not for what cause thei weren come togidere.
19:33	But of the puple thei drowen awei oon Alisaundre, while Jewis puttiden hym forth. And Alisaundre axide with his hoond silence, and wolde yelde a resoun to the puple.
19:34	And as thei knewen that he was a Jew, o vois of alle men was maad, criynge as bi tweyn ouris, Greet Dian of Effesians.
19:35	And whanne the scribe hadde ceessid the puple, he seide, Men of Effesie, what man is he, that knowith not, that the citee of Effesians is the worschipere of greet Dian, and of the child of Jubiter?
19:36	Therfor whanne it may not be ayenseid to these thingis, it behoueth you to be ceessid, and to do no thing folili;
19:37	for ye han brouyt these men, nethir sacrilegeris, nethir blasfemynge youre goddesse.
19:38	That if Demetrie, and the werk men that ben with hym, han cause ayens ony man, there ben courtis, and domes, and iugis; accusen thei eche other.
19:39	If ye seken ouyt of ony othir thing, it may be assoylid in the lawful chirche.
19:40	For whi we ben in perel to be repreuyd of this daies dissencioun, sithen no man is gilti, of whom we moun yelde resoun of this rennyng togidre.
19:41	whanne he hadde seid this thing, he lete the puple go.


19:1	Bvt it fortuned whan Apollo was at Corinthum, that Paul walked thorow the vpper coastes, and came to Ephesus, and founde certayne disciples,
19:2	vnto whom he sayde: Haue ye receaued ye holy goost, sence ye beleued? They sayde vnto hi: We haue not herde, whether there be an holy goost.
19:3	He sayde vnto them: Where with then were ye baptysed? They sayde: With the baptyme of Ihon.
19:4	Paul sayde: Ihon baptysed with the baptyme of repentaunce, and spake vnto ye people, that they shulde beleue on him, which shulde come after him, that is, on Iesus, that the same is Christ.
19:5	Whan they herde that, they were baptysed in the name of the LORDE Iesu.
19:6	And whan Paul layed the hades on the, the holy goost came vpon them, and they spake with tunges, and prophecied.
19:7	And all the men were aboute twolue.
19:8	He wete in to ye synagoge, and preached boldly thre monethes longe, teachinge, and geuynge them exortacions of the kyngdome of God.
19:9	But whan dyuerse waxed herde herted, and beleued not, and spake euell of the waye of the LORDE before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, and disputed daylye in the scole of one called Tyrannus.
19:10	And this was done two yeares loge, so that all they which dwelt in Asia, herde the worde of the LORDE Iesu, both Iewes & Grekes.
19:11	And God wroughte no small miracles by the handes of Paul,
19:12	so that from his body there were broughte napkyns or partlettes vnto the sicke, and the diseases departed from them, and the euell spretes wente out of them.
19:13	But certayne of the vagabounde Iewes which were coniurers, vndertoke to name ye name of the LORDE Iesus, ouer those that had euell spretes, and sayde: We charge you by Iesus whom Paul preacheth.
19:14	They were seuen sonnes of one Sceua a Iewe the hye prest, which dyd so.
19:15	The euell sprete answered, and sayde: Iesus I knowe, and Paul I knowe, but who are ye?
19:16	And the ma in who the euell sprete was, ranne vpon them, and ouercame them, and cast them vnder him, so that they fled out of the same house naked and wounded.
19:17	This was knowne vnto all the Iewes and Grekes which dwelt at Ephesus, and there fell a feare vpon them all. And ye name of the LORDE Iesus was magnified.
19:18	Many of the also that beleued, came and cofessed, and shewed their workes.
19:19	But many of them that had vsed curious craftes, broughte the bokes together, and burnte them openly: and they counted the pryce of them, and founde it of money fiftye thousande pens.
19:20	So mightely grewe ye worde of the LORDE, and preuayled.
19:21	Whan this was done, Paul purposed in sprete to take his iourney thorow Macedonia and Achaia, and to go to Ierusale, and sayde: After that I haue bene there, I must se Rome also.
19:22	And he sent into Macedonia two that mynistred vnto him, Timotheus and Erastus. But he himselfe remayned in Asia for a season.
19:23	At the same tyme there rose no litle a doo aboute that waye.
19:24	For a certayne man named Demetrius a goldsmyth, which made syluer shrynes for Diana, and broughte them of the crafte no small vauntage.
19:25	Them he gathered together, and the feloweworkme of the same occupacion, and sayde: Syrs, ye knowe that by this crafte we haue vauntage,
19:26	and ye se and heare, that not onely at Ephesus, but almost also thorow out all Asia, this Paul turneth awaye moch people with his persuadynge, and sayeth: They be not goddes that are made with hondes.
19:27	Howbeit it shal not onely brynge oure occupacion to this poynte to be set at naught, but also the temple of greate Diana shal from hence forth be despysed, and hir maiestye also shalbe destroyed, who neuertheles all Asia and the worlde worshippeth.
19:28	Whan they herde this, they were full of wrath, cried out, and sayde: Greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
19:29	And all ye cite was on a roore, and they russhed in with one assent in to the open place, and toke Gaius and Aristarchus of Macedonia, Pauls companyons.
19:30	Whan Paul wolde haue gone in amonge the people, the disciples suffred him not.
19:31	Certayne also of ye chefe of Asia which were Pauls good frendes, sent vnto him, and desyred him, that he shulde not preasse in to the open place.
19:32	Some cried one thinge, some another. And the congregacion was out of quyete, and the more parte knewe not wherfore they were come together.
19:33	Some of the people drue forth Alexander, whan ye Iewes thrust him forwarde. Alexader beckened with the hande, and wolde haue geuen the people an answere.
19:34	But whan they knewe that he was a Iewe, there arose a shoute of all, and cried the space of two houres: Greate is Diana of the Ephesians.
19:35	Whan the towne clarke had stylled the people, he sayde: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is it which knoweth not, that the cite of ye Ephesias is a worshipper of the greate goddesse Diana, and of the heauenly ymage?
19:36	Seinge now that this can not be sayde agaynst, ye ought to be contente, and to do nothinge without aduysement.
19:37	Ye haue broughte hither these men, which are nether churchrobbers ner blasphemers off youre goddesse.
19:38	But yff Demetrius and they that are craftesmen with him, haue ought to saye vnto eny man, the lawe is open, and there are rulers, let them accuse one another.
19:39	But yf ye wil go aboute eny other thinge, it maye be determyned in a laufull congregacion.
19:40	For we stonde in ioperdy to be accused of this dayes vproure: and yet is there no man giltye, of whom we mighte geue a rekenynge of this vproure.
19:41	And whan he had sayde this, he let the congregacion departe.
