"In John's baptism," they replied. ⁴ "John," said Paul, "baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus." ⁵ When they heard this, they had themselves baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, ⁶ and after Paul laid his hands on them the holy Spirit came upon them, they spoke with 'tongues' and prophesied. ⁷ They numbered all together about twelve men. ⁸ Then Paul entered the synagogue and for three months spoke out fearlessly, arguing and persuading people about the Reign of God. ⁹ But as some grew stubborn and disobedient, decrying the Way in presence of the multitude, he left them, withdrew the disciples, and continued his argument every day from eleven to four in the lecture-room of Tyrannus. ¹⁰ This went on for two years, so that all the inhabitants of Asia, Jews as well as Greeks, heard the word of the Lord. ¹¹ God also worked no ordinary miracles by means of Paul; ¹² people even carried away towels or aprons he had used, and at their touch sick folk were freed from their diseases and evil spirits came out of them. ¹³ Some strolling Jewish exorcists also undertook to pronounce the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches!" ¹⁴ The seven sons of Sceuas, a Jewish high priest, used to do this. ¹⁵ But the evil spirit retorted, "Jesus I know and Paul I know, but you — who are you?" ¹⁶ And the man in whom the evil spirit resided leapt at them, overpowered them all, and belaboured them, till they rushed out of the house stripped and wounded. ¹⁷ This came to the ears of all the inhabitants of Ephesus, Jews as well as Greeks; awe fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. ¹⁸ Many believers would also come to confess and disclose their magic spells; ¹⁹ and numbers who had practised magic arts collected their books and burned them in the presence of all.
