Acts 19:3-13

3 And he said, "Into what then were you baptized?" And they said, "¹Into John's baptism."

4 Paul said, "²John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people ³to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus."

5 When they heard this, they were ⁴baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

6 And when Paul had ⁵laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began ⁶speaking with tongues and ⁷prophesying.

7 There were in all about twelve men.

8 And he entered ⁸the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them ⁹about the kingdom of God.

9 But when ¹⁰some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of ¹¹the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away ¹²the disciples, reasoning daily * in the school of Tyrannus.

10 This took place for ¹³two years, so that all who lived in ¹⁴Asia heard ¹⁵the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

Miracles at Ephesus

11 God was performing ¹⁶extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,

12 ¹⁷so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and ¹⁸the evil spirits went out.

13 But also some of the Jewish ¹⁹exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."
