Acts - Chapter: 19


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	And it came to passe, while Apollos was at Corinthus, that Paul when he passed thorow the vpper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certaine disciples,
19:2	And saide vnto them, Haue ye receiued the holy Ghost since ye beleeued? And they saide vnto him, Wee haue not so much as heard whether there be an holy Ghost.
19:3	And he said vnto them, Vnto what were ye then baptized? And they saide, Vnto Iohns baptisme.
19:4	Then saide Paul, Iohn verely baptized with the baptisme of repentance, saying vnto the people, that they shoulde beleeue in him, which should come after him, that is, in Christ Iesus.
19:5	And when they heard it, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Iesus.
19:6	So Paul layde his handes vpon them, and the holy Ghost came on them, and they spake the tongues, and prophecied.
19:7	And all the men were about twelue.
19:8	Moreouer he went into the Synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three moneths, disputing and exhorting to the things that appertaine to the kingdome of God.
19:9	But when certaine were hardened, and disobeyed, speaking euill of the way of God before the multitude, hee departed from them, and separated the disciples, and disputed dayly in the schoole of one Tyrannus.
19:10	And this was done by the space of two yeeres, so that all they which dwelt in Asia, heard the word of ye Lord Iesus, both Iewes and Grecians.
19:11	And God wrought no small miracles by the handes of Paul,
19:12	So that from his body were brought vnto the sicke, kerchefs or handkerchefs, and the diseases departed from them, and the euill spirits went out of them.
19:13	Then certaine of the vagabond Iewes, exorcistes, tooke in hand to name ouer them which had euil spirits, the Name of the Lord Iesus, saying, We adiure you by Iesus, whom Paul preacheth.
19:14	(And there were certaine sonnes of Sceua a Iewe, the Priest, about seuen which did this)
19:15	And the euil spirit answered, and said, Iesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know: but who are ye?
19:16	And the man in whome the euil spirit was, ranne on them, and ouercame them, and preuailed against them, so that they fledde out of that house, naked, and wounded.
19:17	And this was knowen to all the Iewes and Grecians also, which dwelt at Ephesus, and feare came on them all, and the Name of the Lord Iesus was magnified,
19:18	And many that beleeued, came and confessed, and shewed their workes.
19:19	Many also of them which vsed curious artes, brought their bookes, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fiftie thousand pieces of siluer.
19:20	So the worde of God grewe mightily, and preuailed.
19:21	Nowe when these things were accomplished, Paul purposed by the Spirite to passe through Macedonia and Achaia, and to goe to Hierusalem, saying, After I haue bene there, I must also see Rome.
19:22	So sent hee into Macedonia two of them that ministred vnto him, Timotheus and Erastus, but he remained in Asia for a season.
19:23	And the same time there arose no small trouble about that way.
19:24	For a certaine man named Demetrius a siluersmith, which made siluer temples of Diana, brought great gaines vnto the craftesmen,
19:25	Whom he called together, with the workemen of like things, and saide, Syrs, ye knowe that by this craft we haue our goods:
19:26	Moreouer ye see and heare, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia this Paul hath perswaded, and turned away much people, saying, That they be not gods which are made with handes.
19:27	So that not onely this thing is dangerous vnto vs, that this our portion shall be reproued, but also that the temple of the great goddesse Diana should be nothing esteemed, and that it would come to passe that her magnificence, which all Asia and the world worshippeth, should be destroyed.
19:28	Now when they heard it, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
19:29	And the whole citie was full of confusion, and they rushed into the common place with one assent, and caught Gaius, and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, and Pauls companions of his iourney.
19:30	And when Paul would haue entred in vnto the people, the disciples suffred him not.
19:31	Certaine also of the chiefe of Asia which were his friendes, sent vnto him, desiring him that hee woulde not present him selfe in the Common place.
19:32	Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assemblie was out of order, and the more part knewe not wherefore they were come together.
19:33	And some of the company drew foorth Alexander, the Iewes thrusting him forwards. Alexander then beckened with the hande, and woulde haue excused the matter to the people.
19:34	But when they knew that he was a Iewe, there arose a shoute almost for the space of two houres, of all men crying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
19:35	Then the towne clearke when hee had stayed the people, saide, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is it that knoweth not howe that the citie of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddesse Diana, and of the image, which came downe from Iupiter?
19:36	Seeing then that no man can speake against these things, ye ought to be appeased, and to doe nothing rashly.
19:37	For yee haue brought hither these men, which haue neither committed sacrilege, neither doe blaspheme your goddesse.
19:38	Wherefore, if Demetrius and the craftes men which are with him, haue a matter against any man, the lawe is open, and there are Deputies: let them accuse one another.
19:39	But if ye inquire any thing cocerning other matters, it may be determined in a lawful assembly.
19:40	For we are euen in ieopardie to be accused of this dayes sedition, for as much as there is no cause, whereby we may giue a reason of this concourse of people.
19:41	And when he had thus spoken, hee let the assembly depart.


19:1	And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding certain disciples
19:2	he said to them, "Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?" But they said to him, "We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."
19:3	And he said to them, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, "Into John's baptism."
19:4	Then Paul said, "John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus."
19:5	When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
19:6	And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
19:7	Now the men were about twelve in all.
19:8	And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
19:9	But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the crowd, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
19:10	And this continued for the space of two years, so that all those who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
19:11	Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul,
19:12	so that handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.
19:13	Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "We exorcise you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."
19:14	And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew and chief priest, who did so.
19:15	And the evil spirit replied and said, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?"
19:16	Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
19:17	This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
19:18	And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds.
19:19	Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of everyone. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver.
19:20	So the word of God grew mightily and prevailed.
19:21	When these things were accomplished, Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."
19:22	So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
19:23	And about that time there arose no small commotion about the Way.
19:24	Because, a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no small profit to the craftsmen,
19:25	whom he called together with the workers of similar occupation, and said: "Men, you know that we have our wealth by this trade.
19:26	Moreover you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are not gods which are made with hands.
19:27	So that not only is this trade of ours in danger of becoming disgraced, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and her magnificence shall be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship."
19:28	Now when they heard these words, they were full of wrath and shouted out, saying, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"
19:29	So the entire city was filled with confusion, and having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's travel companions, they rushed into the theater with one accord.
19:30	And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him.
19:31	Then some of the officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him begging him that he himself would not venture into the theater.
19:32	Some therefore shouted one thing and some another, because the assembly was confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together.
19:33	And they drew Alexander out of the crowd, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander motioned with his hand, and wanted to make his defense to the people.
19:34	But when they found out that he was a Jew, all with one voice shouted out for about the space of two hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"
19:35	And when the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said: "You men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
19:36	Therefore, since these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rashly.
19:37	Because, you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
19:38	Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen who are with him, have a case against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another.
19:39	But if you have inquire anything concerning other matters, it should be determined in the lawful assembly.
19:40	Because, we are in danger of being called in question for today's uproar, there being no reason which we may give to account for this commotion."
19:41	And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
