The disciples at Ephesus
It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts came to Ephesus. And finding certain disciples, Paul asked them, "Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed?" They replied, "We haven't even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit." He said to them: What were you baptised into then? And they said: Into John's baptism. Then Paul said: John truly baptised with the baptism of turning back, telling the people they should believe in the one who'd come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them. And they spoke with tongues and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve.
And it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts came to Ephesus. And finding certain disciples, he said to them: Have you got the Holy Spirit since you believed? And they said to him: We haven't so much as heard whether there's a Holy Spirit. And he said to them: What were you baptised into then? And they said: Into John's baptism. Then Paul said: John truly baptised with the baptism of turning back, telling the people they should believe in the one who'd come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them. And they spoke with tongues and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve.
And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve.

Two years in Ephesus
He went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for the space of three months, arguing and talking round about the things of the kingdom of God. When some were hardened and didn't believe but spoke evil of that way in front of the crowd, he left them and set the disciples apart, arguing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this went on for the space of two years, so everyone living in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. And God worked extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul. So from his body were brought to the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases left them, and the evil spirits came out of them. Then some travelling Jewish exorcists tried using the name of the Lord Jesus over those with evil spirits, saying, “We command you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.” There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew and chief of the priests, who did this. The evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know — but who are you?" The man with the evil spirit leapt on them, overpowered them and prevailed against them, so they fled from that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks living at Ephesus too. And fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was made great. Many who believed came confessing and showing their deeds. Many who practised curious arts brought their books and burned them before everyone. When the value was counted, it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

So from his body were brought to the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases left them, and the evil spirits went out of them. Then certain wandering Jews, exorcists, took it on themselves to call over the ones who had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus: We charge you by Jesus who Paul preaches. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew and chief of the priests, who did this. And the evil spirit answered: Jesus I know, and Paul I know. But who are you? And the man the evil spirit was in leapt on them and won against them and was too strong for them, so they ran out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks living at Ephesus too. And fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was made great. And plenty who believed came and owned up and showed what they'd done. Plenty of them too who used curious arts brought their books together and burnt them in front of everyone. And they counted the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily the word of God grew and won.
And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

The riot of the silversmiths
After these things were ended, Paul settled in the spirit, when he'd gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem: After I've been there, I have to see Rome too. So he sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus. But he stayed in Asia for a season. About that time there arose no small stir about the Way. A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen. Demetrius called the craftsmen together with the workers of the same trade and said, "Sirs, you know our wealth comes from this business. "You see and hear that not only here at Ephesus, but throughout almost all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people by saying that gods made with hands are not gods. So not only is this our trade in danger of coming to nothing, but the temple of the great goddess Diana will be counted as nothing too, and her greatness destroyed, who all Asia and the world worship. When they heard this, they were full of anger and cried out, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!" The whole city was filled with confusion. And having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. When Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples wouldn't let him. And some of the chief of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him asking that he wouldn't go into the theatre. The assembly was confused. Some cried one thing and some another, and most of them had no idea why they'd even come together. They drew Alexander out of the crowd, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander waved with the hand and would have made his defence to the people. When they knew he was a Jew, they all with one voice for the space of about two hours cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians. When the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, who doesn't know that the city of the Ephesians is keeper of the temple of the great goddess Diana and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? Seeing then that these things can't be spoken against, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rash. For you've brought here these men, who aren't robbers of churches or yet speakers against your goddess. So if Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a matter against any man, the courts are open and there are deputies. Let them charge each other. But if you ask anything about other matters, it'll be settled in a lawful meeting. We are in danger of being called to account for today's uproar, since there is no cause by which we can explain this disorder." When he'd spoken like this, he sent the meeting away.

After these things were ended, 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. So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not. And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre. Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together. And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people. But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter? Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess. Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another. But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. For we are in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse. And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
