Acts 19:18 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 19:18

And many that believed
In Jesus Christ, whose name was spoken of with great respect, and which spread fear in every person:

came;
to the apostle:

and confessed;
their sins; and acknowledged what a wicked life they had led:

and showed their deeds;
their former evil deeds, which they had been guilty of; one copy reads, "their sins"; see ( Matthew 3:6 ) .

16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

17 And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt a Ephesus. And fear fell on them all: and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

18 And many of them that believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds
