¹While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that, while Apollos^G625 was^G1511^(G5750)^G1722 at^G1722 Corinth^G2882, Paul^G3972 having passed^G1330^(G5631) through the upper^G510 coasts^G3313 came^G2064^(G5629) to^G1519 Ephesus^G2181: and^G2532 finding^G2147^(G5631) certain^G5100 disciples^G3101,

² He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

KJVHe said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846,^G1487 Have ye received^G2983^(G5627) the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 since ye believed^G4100^(G5660)? And^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846,^G235 We have^G191 not so much as^G3761 heard^G191^(G5656) whether^G1487 there be any^G2076^(G5748) Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151.

³ He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”

KJVAnd^G5037 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Unto^G1519 what^G5101 then^G3767 were ye baptized^G907^(G5681)? And^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627), Unto^G1519 John's^G2491 baptism^G908.

⁴ Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”

KJVThen^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) Paul^G3972, John^G2491 verily^G3303 baptized^G907^(G5656) with the baptism^G908 of repentance^G3341, saying^G3004^(G5723) unto the people^G2992, that^G2443 they should believe^G4100^(G5661) on^G1519 him which should come^G2064^(G5740) after^G3326 him^G846, that is^G5123^(G5748), on^G1519 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

⁵ When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

KJVWhen^G1161 they heard^G191^(G5660) this, they were baptized^G907^(G5681) in^G1519 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424.

⁶ When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.

KJVAnd^G2532 when Paul^G3972 had laid^G2007 his hands^G5495 upon^G2007^(G5631) them^G846, the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 came^G2064^(G5627) on^G1909 them^G846; and^G5037 they spake^G2980^(G5707) with tongues^G1100, and^G2532 prophesied^G4395^(G5707).

⁷ They were about twelve men in all.

KJVAnd^G1161 all^G3956 the men^G435 were^G2258^(G5713) about^G5616 twelve^G1177.

⁸ He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom.

KJVAnd^G1161 he went^G1525^(G5631) into^G1519 the synagogue^G4864, and spake boldly^G3955^(G5711) for the space^G1909 of three^G5140 months^G3376, disputing^G1256^(G5740) and^G2532 persuading^G3982^(G5723) the things concerning^G4012 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

⁹ But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

KJVBut^G1161 when^G5613 divers^G5100 were hardened^G4645^(G5712), and^G2532 believed not^G544^(G5707), but spake evil^G2551^(G5723) of that way^G3598 before^G1799 the multitude^G4128, he departed^G868^(G5631) from^G575 them^G846, and separated^G873^(G5656) the disciples^G3101, disputing^G1256^(G5740) daily^G2596^G2250 in^G1722 the school^G4981 of one^G5100 Tyrannus^G5181.

¹⁰ This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

KJVAnd^G1161 this^G5124 continued^G1096^(G5633) by the space^G1909 of two^G1417 years^G2094; so^G5620 that all^G3956 they which dwelt in^G2730^(G5723) Asia^G773 heard^G191^(G5658) the word^G3056 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, both^G5037 Jews^G2453 and^G2532 Greeks^G1672.

¹¹ God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,

KJVAnd^G5037 God^G2316 wrought^G4160^(G5707) special^G3756^G5177^(G5631) miracles^G1411 by^G1223 the hands^G5495 of Paul^G3972:

¹² so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.

KJVSo^G2532^G5620 that from^G575 his^G846 body^G5559 were brought^G2018^(G5745) unto^G1909 the sick^G770^(G5723) handkerchiefs^G4676 or^G2228 aprons^G4612, and^G2532 the diseases^G3554 departed^G525^(G5745) from^G575 them^G846, and^G5037 the evil^G4190 spirits^G4151 went^G1831^(G5738) out of^G575 them^G846.

¹³ But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

KJVThen^G1161 certain^G5100 of^G575 the vagabond^G4022^(G5740) Jews^G2453, exorcists^G1845, took upon them^G2021^(G5656) to call^G3687^(G5721) over^G1909 them which had^G2192^(G5723) evil^G4190 spirits^G4151 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, saying^G3004^(G5723), We adjure^G3726^(G5719) you^G5209 by Jesus^G2424 whom^G3739 Paul^G3972 preacheth^G2784^(G5719).

¹⁴ There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

KJVAnd^G1161 there were^G2258^(G5713) seven^G2033 sons^G5207 of one Sceva^G4630^G5100, a Jew^G2453, and chief of the priests^G749, which did^G4160^(G5723) so^G5124.

¹⁵ The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”

KJVAnd^G1161 the evil^G4190 spirit^G4151 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627), Jesus^G2424 I know^G1097^(G5719), and^G2532 Paul^G3972 I know^G1987^(G5736); but^G1161 who^G5101 are^G2075^(G5748) ye^G5210?

¹⁶ The man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

KJVAnd^G2532 the man^G444 in^G1722 whom^G3739 the evil^G4190 spirit^G4151 was^G2258^(G5713) leaped^G2177^(G5740) on^G1909 them^G846, and^G2532 overcame^G2634^(G5660) them^G846, and prevailed^G2480^(G5656) against^G2596 them^G846, so^G5620 that they fled^G1628^(G5629) out of^G1537 that^G1565 house^G3624 naked^G1131 and^G2532 wounded^G5135^(G5772).

¹⁷ This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

KJVAnd^G1161 this^G5124 was^G1096^(G5633) known^G1110 to all^G3956 the Jews^G2453 and^G5037 Greeks^G1672 also^G2532 dwelling^G2730^(G5723) at Ephesus^G2181; and^G2532 fear^G5401 fell^G1968^(G5627) on^G1909 them^G846 all^G3956, and^G2532 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 was magnified^G3170^(G5712).

¹⁸ Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.

KJVAnd^G5037 many^G4183 that believed^G4100^(G5761) came^G2064^(G5711), and confessed^G1843^(G5734), and^G2532 shewed^G312^(G5723) their^G846 deeds^G4234.

¹⁹ Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

KJVMany^G2425 of them also^G1161 which used^G4238^(G5660) curious arts^G4021 brought^G4851 their books^G976 together^G4851^(G5631), and burned them^G2618^(G5707) before^G1799 all^G3956 men: and^G2532 they counted^G4860^(G5656) the price^G5092 of them^G846, and^G2532 found^G2147^(G5627) it fifty^G4002 thousand^G3461 pieces of silver^G694.

²⁰ So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.

KJVSo^G3779 mightily^G2596^G2904 grew^G837^(G5707) the word^G3056 of God^G2962 and^G2532 prevailed^G2480^(G5707).

²¹ Now after these things had ended, Paul determined 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.”

KJVAfter^G1161^G5613 these things^G5023 were ended^G4137^(G5681), Paul^G3972 purposed^G5087^(G5639) in^G1722 the spirit^G4151, when he had passed through^G1330^(G5631) Macedonia^G3109 and^G2532 Achaia^G882, to go^G4198^(G5738) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2419, saying^G2036^(G5631), After^G3754^G3326 I^G3165 have been^G1096^(G5635) there^G1563, I^G3165 must^G1163^(G5748) also^G2532 see^G1492^(G5629) Rome^G4516.

²² Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

KJVSo^G1161 he sent^G649^(G5660) into^G1519 Macedonia^G3109 two^G1417 of them that ministered^G1247^(G5723) unto him^G846, Timotheus^G5095 and^G2532 Erastus^G2037; but he himself^G846 stayed^G1907^(G5627) in^G1519 Asia^G773 for a season^G5550.

²³ About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way.

KJVAnd^G1161^G2596 the same^G1565 time^G2540 there arose^G1096^(G5633) no^G3756 small^G3641 stir^G5017 about^G4012 that way^G3598.

²⁴ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,

KJVFor^G1063 a certain^G5100 man named^G3686 Demetrius^G1216, a silversmith^G695, which made^G4160^(G5723) silver^G693 shrines^G3485 for Diana^G735, brought^G3930^(G5710) no^G3756 small^G3641 gain^G2039 unto the craftsmen^G5079;

²⁵ whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.

KJVWhom^G3739 he called together^G4867^(G5660) with the workmen^G2040 of^G4012 like occupation^G5108, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Sirs^G435, ye know^G1987^(G5736) that^G3754 by^G1537 this^G5026 craft^G2039 we have^G2076^(G5748) our^G2257 wealth^G2142.

²⁶ You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.

KJVMoreover^G2532 ye see^G2334^(G5719) and^G2532 hear^G191^(G5719), that^G3754 not^G3756 alone^G3440 at Ephesus^G2181, but^G235 almost^G4975 throughout all^G3956 Asia^G773, this^G3778 Paul^G3972 hath persuaded^G3982^(G5660) and turned away^G3179^(G5656) much^G2425 people^G3793, saying^G3004^(G5723) that^G3754 they be^G1526^(G5748) no^G3756 gods^G2316, which^G3588 are made^G1096^(G5740) with^G1223 hands^G5495:

²⁷ Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”

KJVSo^G1161 that not^G3756 only^G3440 this^G5124 our^G2254 craft^G3313 is in danger^G2793^(G5719) to be set^G2064^(G5629) at^G1519 nought^G557; but^G235 also^G2532 that the temple^G2411 of the great^G3173 goddess^G2299 Diana^G735 should be despised^G1519^G3762^G3049^(G5683), and^G1161^G2532 her^G846 magnificence^G3168 should^G3195^(G5721) be destroyed^G2507^(G5745), whom^G3739 all^G3650 Asia^G773 and^G2532 the world^G3625 worshippeth^G4576^(G5736).

²⁸ When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

KJVAnd^G1161 when they heard^G191^(G5660) these sayings, they were^G1096^(G5637) full^G4134 of wrath^G2372, and^G2532 cried out^G2896^(G5707), saying^G3004^(G5723), Great^G3173 is Diana^G735 of the Ephesians^G2180.

²⁹ The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.

KJVAnd^G2532 the whole^G3650 city^G4172 was filled^G4130^(G5681) with confusion^G4799: and^G5037 having caught^G4884^(G5660) Gaius^G1050 and^G2532 Aristarchus^G708, men of Macedonia^G3110, Paul's^G3972 companions in travel^G4898, they rushed^G3729^(G5656) with one accord^G3661 into^G1519 the theatre^G2302.

³⁰ When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G1014 Paul^G3972 would^G1014^(G5740) have entered^G1525^(G5629) in^G1519 unto the people^G1218, the disciples^G3101 suffered^G1439^(G5707) him^G846 not^G3756.

³¹ Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.

KJVAnd^G1161^G2532 certain^G5100 of the chief of Asia^G775, which were^G5607^(G5752) his^G846 friends^G5384, sent^G3992^(G5660) unto^G4314 him^G846, desiring^G3870^(G5707) him that he would^G1325 not^G3361 adventure^G1325^(G5629) himself^G1438 into^G1519 the theatre^G2302.

³² Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.

KJVSome^G243 therefore^G3767^G3303 cried^G2896^(G5707) one thing^G5100, and some another^G243: for^G1063 the assembly^G1577 was^G2258^(G5713) confused^G4797^(G5772); and^G2532 the more part^G4119 knew^G1492^(G5715) not^G3756 wherefore^G5101^G1752 they were come together^G4905^(G5715).

³³ They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.

KJVAnd^G1161 they drew^G4264^(G5656) Alexander^G223 out of^G1537 the multitude^G3793, the Jews^G2453 putting^G4261 him^G846 forward^G4261^(G5660)^(G5625)^G4261^(G5723). And^G1161 Alexander^G223 beckoned^G2678^(G5660) with the hand^G5495, and would^G2309^(G5707) have made his defence^G626^(G5738) unto the people^G1218.

³⁴ But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

KJVBut^G1161 when they knew^G1921^(G5631) that^G3754 he was^G2076^(G5748) a Jew^G2453, all^G3956^G1096^(G5633) with^G1537 one^G3391 voice^G5456 about^G5613 the space^G1909 of two^G1417 hours^G5610 cried out^G2896^(G5723), Great^G3173 is Diana^G735 of the Ephesians^G2180.

³⁵ When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?

KJVAnd^G1161 when the townclerk^G1122 had appeased^G2687^(G5660) the people^G3793, he said^G5346^(G5748), Ye men^G435 of Ephesus^G2180, what^G5101^G1063 man^G444 is there^G2076^(G5748) that^G3739 knoweth^G1097^(G5719) not^G3756 how that the city^G4172 of the Ephesians^G2180 is^G5607^(G5752) a worshipper^G3511 of the great^G3173 goddess^G2299 Diana^G735, and^G2532 of the image which fell down from Jupiter^G1356?

³⁶ Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.

KJVSeeing^G5607^(G5752) then^G3767 that these things^G5130 cannot be spoken against^G368, ye^G5209 ought^G1163^(G5752)^G2076^(G5748) to be^G5225^(G5721) quiet^G2687^(G5772), and^G2532 to do^G4238^(G5721) nothing^G3367 rashly^G4312.

³⁷ For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.

KJVFor^G1063 ye have brought hither^G71^(G5627) these^G5128 men^G435, which are neither^G3777 robbers of churches^G2417, nor yet^G3777 blasphemers^G987^(G5723) of your^G5216 goddess^G2299.

³⁸ If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.

KJVWherefore^G3303^G3767 if^G1487 Demetrius^G1216, and^G2532 the craftsmen^G5079 which are with^G4862 him^G846, have^G2192^(G5719) a matter^G3056 against^G4314 any man^G5100, the law^G60 is open^G71^(G5743), and^G2532 there are^G1526^(G5748) deputies^G446: let them implead^G1458^(G5720) one another^G240.

³⁹ But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1487 ye enquire^G1934^(G5719) any thing^G5100 concerning^G4012 other matters^G2087, it shall be determined^G1956^(G5701) in^G1722 a lawful^G1772 assembly^G1577.

⁴⁰ For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.”

KJVFor^G1063^G2532 we are in danger^G2793^(G5719) to be called in question^G1458^(G5745) for^G4012 this day's^G4594 uproar^G4714, there being^G5225^(G5723) no^G3367 cause^G158 whereby^G4012^G3739 we may^G1410^(G5695) give^G591^(G5629) an account^G3056 of this^G5026 concourse^G4963.

⁴¹ When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had^G2036 thus^G5023 spoken^G2036^(G5631), he dismissed^G630^(G5656) the assembly^G1577.

KJV^G1161 After^G3326 these things^G5023 Paul^G3972 departed^G5563^(G5685) from^G1537 Athens^G116, and came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Corinth^G2882;

² He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,

KJVAnd^G2532 found^G2147^(G5631) a certain^G5100 Jew^G2453 named^G3686 Aquila^G207, born^G1085 in Pontus^G4193, lately^G4373 come^G2064^(G5756) from^G575 Italy^G2482, with^G2532 his^G846 wife^G1135 Priscilla^G4252;(because that^G1223 Claudius^G2804 had commanded^G1299^(G5760) all^G3956 Jews^G2453 to depart^G5563^(G5745) from^G1537 Rome^G4516:) and came^G4334^(G5627) unto them^G846.

KJVAnd^G2532 because^G1223 he was^G1511^(G5750) of the same craft^G3673, he abode^G3306^(G5707) with^G3844 them^G846, and^G2532 wrought^G2038^(G5711): for^G1063 by their occupation^G5078 they were^G2258^(G5713) tentmakers^G4635.

⁴ He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.

KJVAnd^G1161 he reasoned^G1256^(G5711) in^G1722 the synagogue^G4864^G2596 every^G3956 sabbath^G4521, and^G5037 persuaded^G3982^(G5707) the Jews^G2453 and^G2532 the Greeks^G1672.

⁵ When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613^G5037 Silas^G4609 and^G2532 Timotheus^G5095 were come^G2718^(G5627) from^G575 Macedonia^G3109, Paul^G3972 was pressed^G4912^(G5712) in the spirit^G4151, and testified^G1263^(G5740) to the Jews^G2453 that Jesus^G2424 was Christ^G5547.

⁶ When they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on, I will go to the Gentiles!”

KJVAnd^G1161 when they opposed^G498^(G5734) themselves^G846, and^G2532 blasphemed^G987^(G5723), he shook^G1621^(G5671) his raiment^G2440, and said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Your^G5216 blood^G129 be upon^G1909 your^G5216 own heads^G2776; I^G1473 am clean^G2513: from^G575 henceforth^G3568 I will go^G4198^(G5695) unto^G1519 the Gentiles^G1484.

⁷ He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

KJVAnd^G2532 he departed^G3327^(G5631) thence^G1564, and entered^G2064^(G5627) into^G1519 a certain^G5100 man's house^G3614, named^G3686 Justus^G2459, one that worshipped^G4576^(G5740) God^G2316, whose^G3739 house^G3614 joined hard^G4927^(G5723)^G2258^(G5713) to the synagogue^G4864.

⁸ Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.

KJVAnd^G1161 Crispus^G2921, the chief ruler of the synagogue^G752, believed^G4100^(G5656) on the Lord^G2962 with^G4862 all^G3650 his^G846 house^G3624; and^G2532 many^G4183 of the Corinthians^G2881 hearing^G191^(G5723) believed^G4100^(G5707), and^G2532 were baptized^G907^(G5712).

⁹ The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;

KJVThen^G1161 spake^G2036^(G5627) the Lord^G2962 to Paul^G3972 in^G1223 the night^G3571 by^G1722 a vision^G3705, Be^G5399 not^G3361 afraid^G5399^(G5737), but^G235 speak^G2980^(G5720), and^G2532 hold^G4623 not^G3361 thy peace^G4623^(G5661):

¹⁰ for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”

KJVFor^G1360 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) with^G3326 thee^G4675, and^G2532 no man^G3762 shall set on^G2007^(G5698) thee^G4671 to hurt^G2559^(G5658) thee^G4571: for^G1360 I^G3427 have^G2076^(G5748) much^G4183 people^G2992 in^G1722 this^G5026 city^G4172.

KJVAnd^G5037 he continued^G2523^(G5656) there a year^G1763 and^G2532 six^G1803 months^G3376, teaching^G1321^(G5723) the word^G3056 of God^G2316 among^G1722 them^G846.

¹² But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

KJVAnd^G1161 when Gallio^G1058 was the deputy^G445^(G5723) of Achaia^G882, the Jews^G2453 made insurrection^G2721^(G5627) with one accord against^G3661 Paul^G3972, and^G2532 brought^G71^(G5627) him^G846 to^G1909 the judgment seat^G968,

¹³ saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 This^G3778 fellow persuadeth^G374^(G5719) men^G444 to worship^G4576^(G5738) God^G2316 contrary^G3844 to the law^G3551.

¹⁴ But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;

KJVAnd^G1161 when Paul^G3972 was now about^G3195^(G5723) to open^G455^(G5721) his mouth^G4750, Gallio^G1058 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 the Jews^G2453, If^G1487^G3303^G3767 it were^G2258^(G5713) a^G5100 matter of wrong^G92 or^G2228 wicked^G4190 lewdness^G4467, O^G5599 ye Jews^G2453, reason^G2596^G3056 would^G302 that I should bear^G430^(G5633) with you^G5216:

¹⁵ but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1487 it be^G2076^(G5748) a question^G2213 of^G4012 words^G3056 and^G2532 names^G3686, and^G2532 of^G2596 your^G5209 law^G3551, look ye^G3700^(G5695)^G846 to it; for^G1063 I^G1473 will be^G1014^(G5736)^G1511^(G5750) no^G3756 judge^G2923 of such^G5130 matters.

¹⁶ So he drove them from the judgment seat.

KJVAnd^G2532 he drave^G556^(G5656) them^G846 from^G575 the judgment seat^G968.

¹⁷ Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.

KJVThen^G1161 all^G3956 the Greeks^G1672 took^G1949^(G5637) Sosthenes^G4988, the chief ruler of the synagogue^G752, and beat^G5180^(G5707) him before^G1715 the judgment seat^G968. And^G2532 Gallio^G1058 cared^G3199^(G5707) for none^G3762 of those things^G5130.

¹⁸ Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

KJVAnd^G1161 Paul^G3972 after this tarried^G4357^(G5660) there yet^G2089 a good^G2425 while^G2250, and then took his leave^G657^(G5671) of the brethren^G80, and sailed thence^G1602^(G5707) into^G1519 Syria^G4947, and^G2532 with^G4862 him^G846 Priscilla^G4252 and^G2532 Aquila^G207; having shorn^G2751^(G5671) his head^G2776 in^G1722 Cenchrea^G2747: for^G1063 he had^G2192^(G5707) a vow^G2171.

¹⁹ He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

KJVAnd^G1161 he came^G2658^(G5656) to^G1519 Ephesus^G2181, and^G2548 left^G2641^(G5627) them there^G847: but^G1161 he himself^G846 entered^G1525^(G5631) into^G1519 the synagogue^G4864, and reasoned with^G1256^(G5675) the Jews^G2453.

²⁰ When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;

KJVWhen^G1161 they^G846 desired^G2065^(G5723) him to tarry^G3306^(G5658) longer^G1909^G4119 time^G5550 with^G3844 them^G846, he consented^G1962^(G5656) not^G3756;

²¹ but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

KJVBut^G235 bade^G657 them^G846 farewell^G657^(G5662), saying^G2036^(G5631), I^G3165 must^G1163^(G5748) by all means^G3843 keep^G4160^(G5658) this feast^G1859 that cometh^G2064^(G5740) in^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414: but^G1161 I will return^G344^(G5692) again^G3825 unto^G4314 you^G5209, if God^G2316 will^G2309^(G5723). And^G2532 he sailed^G321^(G5681) from^G575 Ephesus^G2181.

²² When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had landed^G2718^(G5631) at^G1519 Caesarea^G2542, and gone up^G305^(G5631), and^G2532 saluted^G782^(G5666) the church^G1577, he went down^G2597^(G5627) to^G1519 Antioch^G490.

²³ Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

KJVAnd^G2532 after he had spent^G4160^(G5660) some^G5100 time^G5550 there, he departed^G1831^(G5627), and went over^G1330^(G5740) all the country^G5561 of Galatia^G1054 and^G2532 Phrygia^G5435 in order^G2517, strengthening^G1991^(G5723) all^G3956 the disciples^G3101.

²⁴ Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.

KJVAnd^G1161 a certain^G5100 Jew^G2453 named^G3686 Apollos^G625, born^G1085 at Alexandria^G221, an eloquent^G3052 man^G435, and mighty^G5607^(G5752)^G1415 in^G1722 the scriptures^G1124, came^G2658^(G5656) to^G1519 Ephesus^G2181.

²⁵ This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

KJVThis man^G3778 was^G2258^(G5713) instructed in^G2727^(G5772) the way^G3598 of the Lord^G2962; and^G2532 being fervent^G2204^(G5723) in the spirit^G4151, he spake^G2980^(G5707) and^G2532 taught^G1321^(G5707) diligently^G199 the things of^G4012 the Lord^G2962, knowing^G1987^(G5740) only^G3440 the baptism^G908 of John^G2491.

²⁶ He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

KJVAnd^G5037 he^G3778 began^G756^(G5662) to speak boldly^G3955^(G5738) in^G1722 the synagogue^G4864: whom^G846 when^G1161 Aquila^G207 and^G2532 Priscilla^G4252 had heard^G191^(G5660), they took^G4355^(G5639) him^G846 unto them, and^G2532 expounded^G1620^(G5639) unto him^G846 the way^G3598 of God^G2316 more perfectly^G197.

²⁷ When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

KJVAnd^G1161 when he^G846 was disposed^G1014^(G5740) to pass^G1330^(G5629) into^G1519 Achaia^G882, the brethren^G80 wrote^G1125^(G5656), exhorting^G4389^(G5671) the disciples^G3101 to receive^G588^(G5664) him^G846: who^G3739, when he was come^G3854^(G5637), helped them^G4820^(G5639) much^G4183 which had believed^G4100^(G5761) through^G1223 grace^G5485:

²⁸ for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

KJVFor^G1063 he mightily^G2159 convinced^G1246^(G5711) the Jews^G2453, and that publickly^G1219, shewing^G1925^(G5723) by^G1223 the scriptures^G1124 that Jesus^G2424 was^G1511^(G5750) Christ^G5547.
