1: It came to pass_G1096 now,_G1161 while_G1722 -_G3588 -_G3588 Apollos_G0625 was_G1510 in_G1722 Corinth,_G2882 Paul_G3972 having passed through_G1330 the_G3588 upper_G0510 parts_G3313 to come_G2064 to_G1519 Ephesus,_G2181 and_G2532 having found_G2147 certain_G5100 disciples,_G3101

2: he said_G2036 also_G5037 to_G4314 them,_G0846 If_G1487 [the] Spirit_G4151 Holy_G0040 did you receive,_G2983 having believed?_G4100 -_G3588 And [they said]_G1161 to_G4314 him,_G0846 But_G0235 not even_G3761 that [a]_G1487 Spirit_G4151 Holy_G0040 there is,_G1510 did we hear._G0191

3: He said_G2036 then,_G5037 Into_G1519 what_G5101 then_G3767 were you baptized?_G0907 -_G3588 And_G1161 they said,_G2036 Into_G1519 -_G3588 John's_G2491 baptism._G0908

4: Said_G2036 then_G1161 Paul,_G3972 John_G2491 baptized_G0907 a baptism_G0908 of repentance,_G3341 the_G3588 people_G2992 telling_G3004 in_G1519 the [One]_G3588 coming_G2064 after_G3326 him_G0846 that_G2443 they should believe,_G4100 that_G3778 is,_G1510 in_G1519 -_G3588 Jesus._G2424

5: Having heard_G0191 then,_G1161 they were baptized_G0907 in_G1519 the_G3588 name_G3686 of the_G3588 Lord_G2962 Jesus._G2424

6: And_G2532 having laid_G2007 on them_G0846 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 the_G3588 hands,_G5495 came_G2064 the_G3588 Spirit_G4151 -_G3588 Holy_G0040 upon_G1909 them;_G0846 they were speaking_G2980 then_G5037 in tongues_G1100 and_G2532 prophesying._G4395

7: There were_G1510 then_G1161 the_G3588 in all_G3956 men_G0435 about_G5616 twelve._G1427

8: Having entered_G1525 then_G1161 into_G1519 the_G3588 synagogue,_G4864 he was speaking boldly_G3955 for_G1909 months_G3376 three,_G5140 reasoning_G1256 and_G2532 persuading_G3982 -_G3588 concerning_G4012 the_G3588 kingdom_G0932 -_G3588 of God._G2316

9: When_G5613 however_G1161 some_G5100 were hardened_G4645 and_G2532 were disbelieving,_G0544 speaking evil of_G2551 the_G3588 Way_G3598 before_G1799 the_G3588 multitude,_G4128 having departed_G0868 from_G0575 them,_G0846 he took separately_G0873 the_G3588 disciples,_G3101 every_G2596 day_G2250 reasoning_G1256 in_G1722 the_G3588 lecture hall_G4981 of Tyrannus._G5181

10: This_G3778 then_G1161 continued_G1096 for_G1909 years_G2094 two,_G1417 so that_G5620 all_G3956 those_G3588 inhabiting_G2730 -_G3588 Asia_G0773 heard_G0191 the_G3588 word_G3056 of the_G3588 Lord,_G2962 Jews_G2453 both_G5037 and_G2532 Greeks._G1672

11: Miracles_G1411 then_G5037 not_G3756 -_G3588 being ordinary,_G5177 -_G3588 God_G2316 was performing_G4160 by_G1223 the_G3588 hands_G5495 of Paul,_G3972

12: so that_G5620 even_G2532 to_G1909 the_G3588 ailing_G0770 were brought_G0667 from_G0575 the_G3588 skin_G5559 of him_G0846 handkerchiefs_G4676 or_G2228 aprons,_G4612 and_G2532 departed_G0525 from_G0575 them_G0846 the_G3588 diseases,_G3554 the_G3588 also_G5037 spirits_G4151 -_G3588 evil_G4190 left._G1607

13: Attempted_G2021 now_G1161 some of_G5100 also_G2532 of the_G3588 itinerant_G4022 Jews,_G2453 exorcists,_G1845 to invoke_G3687 over_G1909 those_G3588 having_G2192 -_G3588 spirits_G4151 -_G3588 evil_G4190 the_G3588 name_G3686 of the_G3588 Lord_G2962 Jesus,_G2424 saying,_G3004 I adjure_G3726 you_G4771 [by]_G3588 Jesus_G2424 whom_G3739 Paul_G3972 proclaims._G2784

14: They were_G1510 now_G1161 certain_G5100 of Sceva,_G4630 a Jew,_G2453 a high priest,_G0749 seven_G2033 sons,_G5207 this_G3778 were doing._G4160

15: Answering_G0611 however,_G1161 the_G3588 spirit_G4151 -_G3588 evil_G4190 said_G2036 to them_G0846 -,_G3588 -_G3303 Jesus_G2424 I know,_G1097 and_G2532 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 I am acquainted with;_G1987 you_G4771 however,_G1161 who_G5101 are you?_G1510

16: And_G2532 having leapt_G2177 the_G3588 man_G0444 on_G1909 them_G0846 in_G1722 whom_G3739 was_G1510 the_G3588 spirit_G4151 -_G3588 evil,_G4190 having overpowered_G2634 them all,_G0297 he prevailed_G2480 against_G2596 them_G0846 so that_G5620 naked_G1131 and_G2532 wounded_G5135 they fled_G1628 out of_G1537 the_G3588 house_G3624 that._G1565

17: This_G3778 now_G1161 became_G1096 known_G1110 to all_G3956 Jews_G2453 both_G5037 and_G2532 Greeks,_G1672 those_G3588 inhabiting_G2730 -_G3588 Ephesus;_G2181 and_G2532 fell_G1968 fear_G5401 upon_G1909 all_G3956 them,_G0846 and_G2532 was being magnified_G3170 the_G3588 name_G3686 of the_G3588 Lord_G2962 Jesus._G2424

18: Many_G4183 then_G5037 of those_G3588 having believed_G4100 were coming,_G2064 confessing_G1843 and_G2532 declaring_G0312 the_G3588 deeds_G4234 of them._G0846

19: Many_G2425 now_G1161 of those_G3588 the_G3588 magic arts_G4021 having practiced,_G4238 having brought_G4851 the_G3588 books,_G0976 burned [them]_G2618 before_G1799 all._G3956 And_G2532 they counted up_G4860 the_G3588 prices_G5092 of them_G0846 and_G2532 found [it]_G2147 of silverlings_G0694 myriads_G3461 five._G4002

20: Thus_G3779 with_G2596 might_G2904 of the_G3588 Lord_G2962 the_G3588 word_G3056 continued to increase_G0837 and_G2532 prevail._G2480

21: After_G5613 now_G1161 were fulfilled_G4137 these things,_G3778 purposed_G5087 -_G3588 Paul_G3972 in_G1722 the_G3588 Spirit,_G4151 having passed through_G1330 -_G3588 Macedonia_G3109 and_G2532 Achaia,_G0882 to go_G4198 to_G1519 Jerusalem,_G2414 having said_G2036 -,_G3754 After_G3326 -_G3588 having been_G1096 my_G1473 there,_G1563 it behooves_G1163 me_G1473 also_G2532 Rome_G4516 to see._G3708

22: Having sent_G0649 then_G1161 into_G1519 -_G3588 Macedonia_G3109 two_G1417 of those_G3588 ministering_G1247 to him,_G0846 Timothy_G5095 and_G2532 Erastus,_G2037 he_G0846 remained_G1907 for a time_G5550 in_G1519 -_G3588 Asia._G0773

23: Arose_G1096 now_G1161 at_G2596 the_G3588 time_G2540 same_G1565 a disturbance_G5017 not_G3756 small_G3641 concerning_G4012 the_G3588 Way._G3598

24: Demetrius_G1216 for_G1063 a certain [man]_G5100 named,_G3686 a silversmith,_G0695 making_G4160 shrines_G3485 silver_G0693 of Artemis,_G0735 was bringing_G3930 to the_G3588 craftsmen_G5079 no_G3756 little_G3641 business,_G2039

25: whom_G3739 having brought together,_G4867 also_G2532 the_G3588 in_G4012 such_G3588 things_G5108 workmen,_G2040 he said,_G2036 Men,_G0435 you know_G1987 that_G3754 from_G1537 this_G3778 -_G3588 business_G2039 the_G3588 wealth_G2142 of us_G1473 is._G1510

26: And_G2532 you see_G2334 and_G2532 hear_G0191 that_G3754 not_G3756 only_G3440 in Ephesus,_G2181 but_G0235 almost_G4975 all_G3956 -_G3588 of Asia,_G0773 -_G3588 Paul,_G3972 this_G3778 having persuaded [them],_G3982 has turned away_G3179 a great many_G2425 people,_G3793 saying_G3004 that_G3754 not_G3756 they are_G1510 gods_G2316 -_G3588 by_G1223 hands_G5495 being made._G1096

27: Not_G3756 only_G3440 but_G1161 this_G3778 is endangered_G2793 to us,_G1473 the_G3588 business_G3313 into_G1519 disrepute_G0557 to come,_G2064 but_G0235 also_G2532 the_G3588 of the_G3588 great_G3173 goddess_G2299 Artemis_G0735 temple_G2411 for_G1519 nothing_G3762 to be reckoned,_G3049 to be_G3195 and_G5037 also_G2532 deposed_G2507 the_G3588 majesty_G3168 of her,_G0846 whom_G3739 all_G3650 -_G3588 Asia_G0773 and_G2532 the_G3588 world_G3625 worship._G4576

28: Having heard_G0191 then_G1161 and_G2532 having become_G1096 full_G4134 of rage,_G2372 they were crying out,_G2896 saying,_G3004 Great [is]_G3173 -_G3588 Artemis_G0735 of [the] Ephesians!_G2180

29: And_G2532 was filled_G4130 the_G3588 city_G4172 whole_G3588 with confusion;_G4799 they rushed_G3729 and_G5037 with one accord_G3661 to_G1519 the_G3588 theatre,_G2302 having dragged off_G4884 Gaius_G1050 and_G2532 Aristarchus,_G0708 Macedonians,_G3110 fellow travelers_G4898 of Paul._G3972

30: Of Paul_G3972 however_G1161 intending_G1014 to go in_G1525 to_G1519 the_G3588 people,_G1218 not_G3756 would allow_G1439 him_G0846 the_G3588 disciples._G3101

31: Some_G5100 then_G1161 also_G2532 of the_G3588 Asiarchs,_G0775 being_G1510 to him_G0846 friends,_G5384 having sent_G3992 to_G4314 him,_G0846 were urging [him]_G3870 not_G3361 to venture_G1325 himself_G1438 into_G1519 the_G3588 theatre._G2302

32: Others_G0243 indeed_G3303 therefore_G3767 some_G0243 thing_G5100 were crying out;_G2896 was_G1510 for_G1063 the_G3588 assembly_G1577 confused,_G4797 and_G2532 -_G3588 most_G4119 not_G3756 did know_G1492 for what_G5101 cause_G1752 they were assembled._G4905

33: Out of_G1537 now_G1161 the_G3588 crowd_G3793 to explain himself_G4822 Alexander,_G0223 having thrust forward_G4261 him_G0846 the_G3588 Jews._G2453 -_G3588 And_G1161 Alexander,_G0223 having motioned with_G2678 the_G3588 hand,_G5495 was wanting_G2309 to make a defense_G0626 to the_G3588 people._G1218

34: Having recognized_G1921 however_G1161 that_G3754 a Jew_G2453 he is,_G1510 a cry_G5456 there was_G1096 one_G1520 from_G1537 all,_G3956 about_G5613 ongoing_G1909 hours_G5610 two_G1417 crying out,_G2896 Great [is]_G3173 -_G3588 Artemis_G0735 of [the] Ephesians!_G2180

35: Having calmed_G2687 then_G1161 the_G3588 town clerk_G1122 the_G3588 crowd,_G3793 he says,_G5346 Men,_G0435 Ephesians,_G2180 what_G5101 for_G1063 is there_G1510 man_G0444 who_G3739 not_G3756 knows_G1097 the_G3588 of [the] Ephesians_G2180 city_G4172 temple-keeper_G3511 as being_G1510 of the_G3588 great_G3173 Artemis,_G0735 and_G2532 of that_G3588 fallen from the sky?_G1356

36: Undeniable_G0368 therefore_G3767 being_G1510 these things,_G3778 necessary_G1163 it is_G1510 for you_G4771 calm_G2687 to be,_G5225 and_G2532 nothing_G3367 rash_G4312 to do._G4238

37: You brought_G0071 for_G1063 the_G3588 men_G0435 these,_G3778 neither_G3777 temple plunderers_G2417 nor_G3777 blaspheming_G0987 the_G3588 goddess_G2316 of us._G1473

38: If_G1487 indeed_G3303 therefore_G3767 Demetrius_G1216 and_G2532 the_G3588 with_G4862 him_G0846 craftsmen_G5079 have_G2192 against_G4314 anyone_G5100 a matter,_G3056 courts_G0060 are conducted,_G0071 and_G2532 proconsuls_G0446 there are;_G1510 let them accuse_G1458 one another._G0240

39: If_G1487 however_G1161 anything_G5100 beyond this_G4008 you inquire,_G1934 in_G1722 the_G3588 lawful_G1772 assembly_G1577 it will be solved._G1956

40: And_G2532 for_G1063 we are in danger of_G2793 being accused_G1458 of insurrection_G4714 in regard to_G4012 -_G3588 this day,_G4594 not one_G3367 cause_G0159 there existing_G5225 concerning_G4012 which_G3739 not_G3756 we will be able_G1410 to give_G0591 a reason_G3056 for_G4012 the_G3588 commotion_G4963 this._G3778

41: And_G2532 these things_G3778 having said,_G2036 he dismissed_G0630 the_G3588 assembly._G1577
