< Acts 19 >

1 And it came to pass, in Apollos being in Corinth, Paul having gone through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and having found certain disciples,
ⲁ̅ⲁⲥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲗⲗⲏⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲕⲟⲣⲓⲛⲑⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲉⲡ ⲛⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲥⲁ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
2 he said to them, “Having believed, did you receive the Holy Spirit?” And they said to him, “But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit”;
ⲃ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲠⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲣⲱ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲁⲃ ϣⲟⲡ.
3 and he said to them, “Into what, then, were you immersed?” And they said, “Into John’s immersion.”
ⲅ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲥ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
4 And Paul said, “John, indeed, immersed with an immersion of conversion, saying to the people that they should believe in Him who is coming after him—that is, in the Christ—Jesus”;
ⲇ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ Ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲁϥϯⲱⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲙ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉ.
5 and they, having heard, were immersed into the Name of the Lord Jesus,

6 and Paul having laid [his] hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, they were also speaking with tongues, and prophesying,
ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲭⲁ ϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲠⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ⲛⲁⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲇⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲗⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲉⲩⲓⲛ.
7 and all the men were, as it were, twelve.
ⲍ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣ ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
8 And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading the things concerning the Kingdom of God,

9 and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of The Way before the multitude, having departed from them, he separated the disciples, reasoning every day in the school of a certain Tyrannus.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲁ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲣⲛⲁϣⲧϩⲏ ⲧ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲧⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲩⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉϥϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲁϥⲫⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲫⲱⲣϫ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲏⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ⳿ⲥⲭⲟⲗⲏ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲩⲣⲁⲛⲛⲟⲥ.
10 And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks,
ⲓ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ⲃ̅ϯ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ϯ ⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲡ⳪ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ.
11 also mighty works—not common—God was working through the hands of Paul,

12 so that even to the ailing were brought from his body handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them; the evil spirits also went forth from them.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲱⲥⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲥⲟⲩⲇⲁⲣⲓⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲓⲙⲓⲕⲩⲛⲑⲓⲛⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲓ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲭⲁⲩ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉϣⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓϣⲱⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲡⲉ.
13 And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took on [them] to name over those having the evil spirits the Name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preaches”;
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩϩⲓⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲉⲝⲟⲣⲅⲓⲥⲧⲏⲥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϯⲧⲁⲣⲕⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲒⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲫⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
14 and there were certain—seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest—who are doing this thing;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲍ̅ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲩⲁ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲉⲩ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫⲁⲓ.
15 and the evil spirit, answering, said, “I know Jesus, and I am acquainted with Paul; and you—who are you?”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϯⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϯ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ.
16 And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping on them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so that they fled naked and wounded out of that house,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϩⲓⲧϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲁϥⲉⲣ⳪ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲡ ⲁϥϫⲉⲙϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲥⲧⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲫⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲃⲏϣ ⲉⲣⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲫⲏϧ.
17 and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell on them all, and the Name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified;
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲓⲛ ⲉⲧϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩϩⲟϯ ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϭⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
18 many also of those who believed were coming, confessing and declaring their acts,

19 and many of those who had practiced the superfluous arts, having brought the scrolls together, were burning [them] before all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found [it] fifty thousand pieces of silver,

20 so powerfully was the word of God increasing and prevailing.

21 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying, “After my being there, it is also necessary for me to see Rome”;
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲭⲁⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲙⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲁⲭⲁⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲒⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲉⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⳿ⲑⲣⲓϣⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲕⲉⲣⲱⲙⲏ.
22 and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him—Timotheus and Erastus—he himself stayed a time in Asia.

23 And there came, at that time, not a little stir about The Way,

24 for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver, making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the craftsmen not a little gain,

25 whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who worked around such things, he said, “Men, you know that by this work we have our wealth;

26 and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, turned away a great multitude, saying that they who are made by hands are not gods;

27 and not only is this department in danger for us of coming into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis, the temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world worships.”
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲙ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲕⲩⲛⲇⲓⲛⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲣⲉⲛ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲩⲥⲟϩⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲓⲕⲉⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ ϯⲁⲣⲧⲉⲙⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲡϥ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣⲟⲣϣⲉⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲙⲉⲧⲛⲓϣϯ ⲑⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ϯⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲟⲓⲕⲟⲩⲙⲉⲛⲏ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⲉⲣⲥⲉⲃⲉⲥⲑⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
28 And having heard, and having become full of wrath, they were crying out, saying, “Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!”

29 And the whole city was filled with confusion; they rushed also with one accord into the theater, having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s fellow-travelers.

30 And on Paul’s resolving to enter in to the populace, the disciples were not permitting him,

31 and also some of the chief men of Asia, being his friends, having sent to him, were pleading [with] him not to venture into the theater himself.

32 Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater part did not know for what they had come together;

33 and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander—the Jews thrusting him forward—and Alexander having beckoned with the hand, wished to make defense to the populace,

34 and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of all, for about two hours, crying, “Great [is] the Artemis of the Ephesians!”

35 And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, says, “Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple-keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus?

38 if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a matter with anyone, court [days] are held, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another.
