Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of
Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened,
that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
Among those
listening was a woman named
Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of
Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to
respond to Paul’s message.
And this did she many days. But Paul, being
grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at
that very moment.

And suddenly there was a great
earthquake, so
that the foundations of the prison were
shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
And the keeper of the prison
awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing
that the prisoners had been fled.

jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming

baptized, he and all his,
straightway.

that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and
that this Jesus, whom I
preach unto you, is Christ.

Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These
that have turned the world
upside down are come
hither also;

dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials,
shouting, “These men who have turned the world
upside down have now come here,
Whom
Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying
that there is another king, one Jesus.
and
Jason has
welcomed them into his home. They are all
defying Caesar’s decrees, saying
that there is another king, named Jesus!”
These were more noble than those in
Thessalonica, in
that they received the word with all
readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the
Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
But when the Jews of
Thessalonica had knowledge
that the word of God was preached of Paul at
Berea, they came thither also, and
stirred up the people.
And they
that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto
Silas and
Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
Those who
escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then returned with instructions for
Silas and
Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was
stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to
idolatry.
While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply disturbed in his spirit to see that the city was full of idols.
Therefore disputed he in the
synagogue with the Jews, and with the
devout persons, and in the market daily with them
that met with him.

synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace with those he met each day.
And they took him, and brought him unto
Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine,
whereof thou speakest, is?
So they took Paul and brought him to the
Areopagus, where they asked him, “May we know what this new teaching is
that you are presenting?
Then Paul stood in the midst of
Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive
that in all things ye are too
superstitious.
Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the
Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see
that in every way you are very religious.
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their
habitation;
From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.
That they should seek the Lord, if
haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think
that the
Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone,
graven by art and man’s
device.
Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.
Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by
that man whom he hath ordained;
whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in
that he hath raised him from the dead.
For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to
everyone by raising Him from the dead.”
So Paul departed from among them.
And found a certain
Jew named
Aquila, born in
Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife
Priscilla; (because
that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
There he found a
Jew named
Aquila, a native of
Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife
Priscilla because
Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,
And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man’s house, named Justus, one
that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the
synagogue.
So Paul left the
synagogue and went next door to the house of
Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.
And when Paul was now about to open his mouth,
Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked
lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would
that I should bear with you:
But just as Paul was about to speak,
Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a
wrongdoing or
vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your
complaint.
But
bade them
farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast
that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
But as he left, he said, “I will come back to you if God is willing.” And he set sail from Ephesus.
For he powerfully
refuted the Jews in public
debate, proving from the Scriptures
that Jesus is the Christ.
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,
While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the interior and came to Ephesus. There he found some 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 asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?” “No,” they answered, “we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
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.
Paul explained: “John’s baptism was a baptism of
repentance. He told the people to believe in the One coming after him,
that is, in Jesus.”
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.
This continued for two years, so
that everyone who lived in the province of Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.
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.
so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and the diseases and evil spirits left them.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was
leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so
that they fled out of
that house naked and wounded.
Then the man with the evil spirit
jumped on them and overpowered them all. The attack was so violent
that they ran out of the house naked and wounded.
And many
that believed came, and
confessed, and shewed their deeds.
Many who had believed now came forward,
confessing and disclosing their deeds.
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.
About that time there arose a great disturbance about the Way.
Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
Demetrius assembled the
craftsmen, along with the workmen in related trades. “Men,” he said, “you know
that this business is our source of prosperity.
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:
And you can see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in nearly the whole province of Asia, Paul has persuaded a great number of people to turn away. He says that man-made gods are no gods at all.
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.
There is danger not only
that our business will fall into
disrepute, but also
that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be discredited and her majesty
deposed—she who is worshiped by all the province of Asia and the whole world.”
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.
Even some of Paul’s friends who were officials of the province of Asia sent word to him,
begging him not to
venture into the theatre.
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.
But when they realized
that he was a
Jew, they all
shouted in
unison for about two hours: “Great is Artemis 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?
Finally the city clerk quieted the crowd and declared, “Men of Ephesus, doesn’t
everyone know
that the city of Ephesus is
guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of her image, which fell from heaven?
Seeing then
that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing
rashly.
Since these things are
undeniable, you ought to be calm and not do anything
rash.
And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much
exhortation, he came into Greece,
After traveling through that area and speaking many words of encouragement, he arrived in Greece,
And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against
Chios; and the next day we arrived at
Samos, and
tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to
Miletus.
Sailing on from there, we arrived the next day opposite
Chios. The day after
that we arrived at
Samos, and on the following day we came to
Miletus.
And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
When they came to him, he said, “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I arrived in the province of Asia.
Serving the Lord with all
humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which
befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
I served the Lord with great
humility and with tears, especially in the trials
that came upon me through the plots of the Jews.
And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
I did not
shrink back from declaring anything
that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,
And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things
that shall
befall me there:
And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.
Save
that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying
that bonds and afflictions
abide me.
I only know
that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me
that chains and afflictions
await me.
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life
dear unto myself, so
that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to
testify the gospel of the grace of God.
But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of
testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
Now I know that none of you among whom I have preached the kingdom will see my face again.
Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
Therefore I
testify to you this day
that I am innocent of the blood of all men.
For I know this,
that after my departing shall
grievous wolves enter in among you, not
sparing the flock.
I know
that after my departure, savage
wolves will come in among you and will not
spare the flock.
Therefore watch, and remember,
that by the space of three years I ceased not to
warn every one night and day with tears.
Therefore be
alert and remember
that for three years I never stopped
warning each of you night and day with tears.
You
yourselves know
that these hands of mine have ministered to my own needs and those of my companions.
I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
In everything, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus Himself: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
They were especially
grieved by his statement
that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
And it came to pass,
that after we were
gotten from them, and had
launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto
Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
After we had
torn ourselves away from them, we sailed directly to Cos, and the next day on to
Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
And finding disciples, we
tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit,
that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
We sought out the disciples in Tyre and stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they kept telling Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
And the next day we
that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the
evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
Leaving the next day, we went on to Caesarea and stayed at the home of Philip the
evangelist, who was one of the Seven.
And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s
girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man
that owneth this
girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and hand him over to the Gentiles.’”
And when we heard these things, both we, and they of
that place,
besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
When we heard this, we and the people there
pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
And when he had
saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Paul
greeted them and recounted one by one the things
that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
And they are informed of thee,
that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to
forsake Moses, saying
that they ought not to
circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
But they are under the impression
that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to
forsake Moses, telling them not to
circumcise their children or observe our customs.
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
What then should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.
