²⁸ And Jesus said to them, Truly do I say to you, that, in the renovation when the Son of man sitteth on the throne of his glory, ye who have followed me shall also yourselves sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹ And he called together the twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. ² And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal. ³ And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats apiece. ⁴ And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and from it take your departure. ⁵ And whoever shall not receive you, shake off, when ye leave that city, even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.

¹³ And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having been with Jesus.

¹ And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus. And finding certain disciples, ² he said to them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said to him, No, we did not even hear whether there is a Holy Spirit. ³ And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into Johns baptism. ⁴ Then said Paul, John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people, that they should believe on him that was coming after him; that is, on Jesus. ⁵ And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. ⁶ And when Paul bad laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied. ⁷ And the men were about twelve in all. ⁸ And he went into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for three months, discoursing and persuading concerning the kingdom of God. ⁹ But when some were hardened, and believed not, but spoke evil of the way [of the Lord] before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, discoursing daily in the school of Tyrannus. ¹⁰ And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. ¹¹ And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul; ¹² so that even handkerchiefs, or aprons, were carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out. ¹³ Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists undertook to name over those who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by that Jesus whom Paul preacheth. ¹⁴ And there were seven sons of Scevas, a Jewish chief priest, who did this. ¹⁵ And the evil spirit answering said, Jesus I knew, and Paul I well know; but who are ye? ¹⁶ And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them both, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. ¹⁷ And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. ¹⁸ And many of the believers came, confessing and declaring their practices. ¹⁹ Many also of those who had practised magical arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men; and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. ²⁰ So the word of the Lord grew and prevailed mightily. ²¹ And when these things were ended, Paul resolved to pass through Macedonia and Achaia, and to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. ²² And having sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a season. ²³ And about that time there arose no small tumult concerning the faith. ²⁴ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, made silver shrines of Diana, and brought no small gain to the craftsmen. ²⁵ And having called them together, with the workmen of like occupation, he said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth; ²⁶ and ye see and hear, that this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, not only of Ephesus, but of almost all Asia, saying, that those are not gods, which are made with hands. ²⁷ And there is not only danger that this branch of our business will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be despised, and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship. ²⁸ And hearing this they became full of wrath, and kept crying out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians! ²⁹ And the city was filled with confusion; and they rushed with one accord into the theatre, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Pauls companions in travel. ³⁰ And when Paul wished to go in to the people, the disciples would not suffer him. ³¹ And some also of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him, and entreated him not to venture into the theatre. ³² Some therefore were crying one thing, and some another; for the assembly was in confusion, and the greater part knew not wherefore they had come together. ³³ And they brought forward Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward; and Alexander beckoned with his hand, desiring to make his defence to the people. ³⁴ But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice for about two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians! ³⁵ But when the Recorder had quieted the multitude, he said, Men of Ephesus, who is there among men that doth not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the great Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? ³⁶ Since then these things cannot be denied, ye ought to be quiet, and do nothing rashly. ³⁷ For ye have brought hither these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor blasphemers of your goddess. ³⁸ If then Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a complaint against any one, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls; let them bring their charges against each other. ³⁹ But if ye ask for any thing further, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly. ⁴⁰ For we are in danger of being called to answer concerning this days riot, there being no ground on which we shall be able to give an account of this concourse. ⁴¹ And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

¹¹ And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

¹³ And he goeth up into the mountain, and calleth to him whom he would; and they came to him. ¹⁴ And he appointed twelve to be with him, and whom he might send forth to preach, ¹⁵ and to have authority to cast out demons. And he appointed the twelve, ¹⁶ and Simon he surnamed Peter; ¹⁷ and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, that is, Sons of thunder; ¹⁸ and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon of Cana, ¹⁹ and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. And he cometh into the house.

¹² And many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles; and they were all with one accord in Solomons porch. ¹³ But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them; ¹⁴ and more and more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women; ¹⁵ so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, might overshadow some of them. ¹⁶ The multitude also belonging to the cities around came together to Jerusalem bringing the sick, and those plagued by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.

² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus; ⁴ Simon of Cana, and Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed him.

¹² Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you with all endurance, by signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
