< Acts 19 >

1 And it came to pass, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper districts, came to Ephesus, and finding certain disciples,
ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲁⲡⲟⲗⲗⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲣⲓⲛⲑⲟⲥ. ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲉϣⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲁ ⲉⲧϩⲙ̅ⲡϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ. ⲁϥϩⲉ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ.
2 he said to them, Did ye receive [the] Holy Spirit when ye had believed? And they [said] to him, We did not even hear if [the] Holy Spirit was [come].
ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲣⲱ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϫⲓⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ.
3 And he said, To what then were ye baptised? And they said, To the baptism of John.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϫⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ϭⲉ ⲉⲛⲓⲙ. ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛϫⲓⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲉⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
4 And Paul said, John indeed baptised [with] the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on him that was coming after him, that is, on Jesus.
ⲇ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ. ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛⲏⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱϥ. ⲉⲧⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
5 And when they heard that, they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 And Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲕⲁϭⲓϫ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ. ⲁⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ. ⲛⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲕⲉⲁⲥⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲉ.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲩⲙⲉϩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥⲛⲟⲟⲩⲥ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ.
8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly during three months, reasoning and persuading [the things] concerning the kingdom of God.
ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ. ⲁϥⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲛ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲧ. ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϥⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ.
9 But when some were hardened and disbelieved, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲣ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲉⲩϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ. ⲁϥⲥⲁϩⲱϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲡⲣϫ̅ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲛⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲭⲟⲗⲏ ⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲣⲁⲛⲟⲥ.
10 And this took place for two years, so that all that inhabited Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

11 And God wrought no ordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϭⲓϫ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ.
12 so that even napkins or aprons were brought from his body [and put] upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and the wicked spirits went out.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϫⲓ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲟⲩⲇⲁⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲥⲩⲙⲓⲕⲓⲛⲑⲓⲛⲟⲛ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲟϭⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲉ ⲗⲟ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲟⲩ.
13 And certain of the Jewish exorcists also, who went about, took in hand to call upon those who had wicked spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ. ⲉⲧⲟ ⲛ̅ⲉⲝⲟⲣⲕⲓⲥⲧⲏⲥ ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲱⲟⲩ. ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲣⲕⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲕⲏⲣⲩⲥⲥⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ.
14 And there were certain [men], seven sons of Sceva, Jewish high priest, who were doing this.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲓⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲁ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧϥ̅ⲥⲁϣϥ̅ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈.
15 But the wicked spirit answering said to them, Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with; but ye, who are ye?
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲕⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϯⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲓⲙ.
16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was leaped upon them, and having mastered both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁϥϥⲱϭⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲛⲏⲣⲟⲛ ϩⲓⲱⲱϥ ⲁϥⲣ̅ϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲁϣϥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ. ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙⲡⲏⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲕⲏⲕⲁϩⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲡⲟⲗϩ̅.
17 And this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who inhabited Ephesus, and fear fell upon all of them, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲗⲗⲏⲛ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
18 And many of those that believed came confessing and declaring their deeds.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲛⲉⲣⲉϩⲁϩ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲩⲉⲝⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲓ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲩⲟ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ.
19 And many of those that practised curious arts brought their books [of charms] and burnt them before all. And they reckoned up the prices of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉⲣⲡⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲛ̅ϫⲱⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲣⲟⲕϩⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲉⲡⲥⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ϯⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲃⲁ ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲧ.
20 Thus with might the word of the Lord increased and prevailed.

21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in his spirit to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome also.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ϫⲱⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲁⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲥⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲥ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲡ̅ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲭⲁⲓ̈ⲁ. ⲛϥ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲓ̅ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲧⲣⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲙⲁⲩ. ϩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲕⲉϩⲣⲱⲙⲏ.
22 And having sent into Macedonia two of those ministering to him, Timotheus and Erastus, he remained himself awhile in Asia.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁϥϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓ ⲛⲁϥ. ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲁⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ.
23 And there took place at that time no small disturbance about the way.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ.
24 For a certain [man] by name Demetrius, a silver-beater, making silver temples of Artemis, brought no small gain to the artisans;
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ϩⲁⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲉ ⲧⲩⲙⲏⲧⲣⲓⲟⲥ ⲉϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲧⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲣⲧⲉⲙⲓⲥ. ⲛⲉⲩϯ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲉⲣⲅⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲭⲛⲓⲧⲏⲥ.
25 whom having brought together, and those who wrought in such things, he said, Men, ye know that our well-living arises from this work,
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϭⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲣ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲡⲉ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲃⲣ̅ⲧⲉⲭⲛⲓⲧⲏⲥ. ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲛⲱⲛϩ̅ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲓ̈ⲉⲣⲅⲁⲥⲓⲁ.
26 and ye see and hear that this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great crowd, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying that they are no gods which are made with hands.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲥⲭⲉⲇⲟⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅. ⲁⲡⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲓⲑⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲡⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲟⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ. ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϭⲓϫ.
27 Now not only there is danger for us that our business come into discredit, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be counted for nothing, and that her greatness should be destroyed whom the whole of Asia and the world reveres.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲕⲓⲛⲇⲩⲛⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥϫⲱⲱⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ̅. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲕⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲧⲩⲙⲓⲥ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲗⲟ ⲉⲩⲱⲡ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲛ̅ⲧⲥ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲟϭ. ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ ϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲥ.
28 And having heard [this], and being filled with rage, they cried out, saying, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲛ̅ϭⲱⲛⲧ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲧⲉⲙⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ.
29 And the [whole] city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, having seized and carried off with [them] Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow-travellers of Paul.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ̅ ⲙⲟⲩϩ ⲛ̅ϣⲧⲟⲣⲧⲣ̅. ⲉⲁⲩϯⲡⲉⲩⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲉⲡⲉⲑⲩⲁⲧⲣⲟⲛ. ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲱⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲅⲁⲓ̈ⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲓⲥⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲱⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ.
30 But Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples suffered him not;
ⲗ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲇⲏⲙⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲕⲁⲁϥ.
31 and some of the Asiarchs also, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to throw himself into the theatre.

32 Different persons therefore cried out some different thing; for the assembly was tumultuous, and the most did not know for what cause they had come together.

33 But from among the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews pushing him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand, would have made a defence to the people.

34 But, recognising that he was a Jew, there was one cry from all, shouting for about two hours, Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians.
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲓ̈ⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲥⲙⲏ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲥⲛ̅ⲧⲉ. ⲉⲩⲁϣⲕⲁⲕ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲣⲧⲉⲙⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ.
35 And the townclerk, having quieted the crowd, said, Ephesians, what man is there then who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of Artemis the great, and of the [image] which fell down from heaven?
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉⲅⲣⲁⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲕⲁⲧⲁⲥⲧⲓⲗⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ. ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ. ⲛⲓⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲉⲥϣⲙ̅ϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲁⲣⲧⲩⲙⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲍⲉⲩⲥ.
36 These things therefore being undeniable, it is necessary that ye should be calm and do nothing headlong.

37 For ye have brought these men, [who are] neither temple-plunderers, nor speak injuriously of your goddess.

38 If therefore Demetrius and the artisans who [are] with him have a matter against any one, the courts are being held, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.

39 But if ye inquire anything concerning other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.

40 For also we are in danger to be put in accusation for sedition for this [affair] of to-day, no cause existing in reference to which we shall be able to give a reason for this concourse.
