1 And it was in Apollos' being in Corinth, Paul having passed through the higher parts, caine to Ephesus: and having found certain disciples,
2 He said to them, Having believed, have ye received the Holy Spirit? And they said to him, But neither heard we if there be a Holy Spirit.
3 And he said to them, Into what then were ye immersed? And they. said, Into John's immersion.
4 And Paul said, John truly immersed the immersion of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him coming after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.
5 And they having heard, were immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And Paul having laid hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came upon them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
8 And having come into the synagogue, he spake freely, discoursing for three months, and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
9 And when certain were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed from them, he separated the disciples, discoursing in the day in the school of a certain Tyrannus.
10 And this was for two years: so that all dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
11 And God did special powers by Paul's hands:
12 So that also upon the sick were brought from his body napkins or aprons, and diseases were removed from them, and evil spirits came out of them.
13 And certain of the wandering Jews, exorcists, undertook to call over them having evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul proclaims.
14 And there were certain sons of Sceva, a Jew, chief priest, seven doing this.
15 And the evil spirit having answered, said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16 And the man leaping upon them in whom the evil spirit was, and having overpowered them, he was strong against them, so that naked and wounded they fled out of the house.
17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
18 And many of them having believed came, acknowledging and proclaiming their deeds.
19 And sufficient of them having done unnecessary things, having brought books together, burned before all: and computed their prices, and found fifty thousand of silver.
20 Thus with might the word of the Lord increased, and was strong.
