While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples. 1Co 16:12Act 18:23-281Co 1:12Act 18:1Act 18:19-211Co 3:4-7 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” 1Co 6:19Act 11:15-17Gal 3:5Jhn 7:391Sa 3:7Act 19:51Co 12:1-11Act 10:44
They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” Act 18:251Co 12:13Act 8:16Luk 3:1-38Mat 28:19Mat 3:1-17
They said, “Into John’s baptism.”
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.” 1 Act 1:5Act 11:16Jhn 1:29-34Luk 3:16-18Act 13:23-25Jhn 1:27Jhn 1:7Jhn 3:28-36
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Act 8:12Act 8:161Co 10:2Act 2:38Rom 6:3-41Co 1:13-15Act 10:48 When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied. Act 2:4Act 6:6Mrk 16:171Ti 5:221Co 14:1-252Ti 1:6Act 9:171Co 12:8-11 They were about twelve men in all.
He entered into the synagogue and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning God’s Kingdom. Act 1:3Act 28:23Act 9:20-22Jud 1:3Act 13:14Act 13:46Act 14:1Act 17:1-3
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. Act 19:23Act 18:6-8Act 9:22Pe 2:12Act 14:41Ti 6:52Pe 2:2Act 13:45-46 This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. Act 20:312Ti 1:151Co 1:22-24Act 16:6Col 3:11Gal 3:28Rom 1:16Rom 10:12
God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul, Act 5:12Mrk 16:17-20Rom 15:18-19Heb 2:4Act 16:18Act 8:13Gal 3:5Act 15:12 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. Act 5:152Ki 13:20-21Mrk 16:172Ki 4:29-31 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.” Mat 12:27Mrk 9:38Luk 11:19Act 8:18-19Luk 9:49Mrk 5:71Ki 22:16Mat 26:63 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?” Act 16:17-18Luk 4:33-35Mrk 1:34Mrk 5:9-13Mrk 1:24Luk 8:28-32Mat 8:29-31Gen 3:1-5 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. Luk 8:29Mrk 5:3-4Luk 8:35Mrk 5:15 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. 2Th 1:122Th 3:1Act 13:12Act 5:11Act 5:5Php 1:20Php 2:9-111Sa 6:20 Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds. Rom 10:10Mat 3:6Psa 32:51Jn 1:9Ezk 16:63Ezk 36:31Jer 3:13Job 33:27-28 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. 2 Act 13:8Deu 7:25-26Exo 32:20Gen 35:4Isa 2:20-21Act 13:6Act 8:9-11Dan 2:2 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty. Act 12:24Act 6:7Isa 55:112Th 3:1
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.” Act 20:22Act 20:16Act 23:11Act 18:21Gal 2:1Rom 1:131Co 16:51Th 1:7
Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while. 2Ti 4:20Rom 16:23Act 13:5Act 16:1Act 16:3Act 16:9-10Act 18:5Act 19:10 About that time there arose no small disturbance concerning the Way. Act 19:9Act 24:222Co 1:8-10Act 24:14Act 9:22Co 6:9Act 18:26Act 22:4 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen, 1Ti 6:9-10Act 16:16Act 16:19Act 19:27-28Act 19:34-35Isa 56:11-12 whom he gathered together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, “Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth. Act 16:19Hos 12:7-82Pe 2:3Hos 4:8Rev 18:11-19Rev 18:3 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. 1Co 8:4Act 17:29Isa 44:10-20Act 14:15Act 19:10Deu 4:28Rev 9:201Co 10:19-20 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.” Zep 2:111Ti 6:51Jn 5:19Act 19:21Mat 23:13Rev 13:3Rev 13:8
When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” Rev 13:4Rev 17:131Ki 18:26-291Sa 5:3-5Act 16:19-24Act 18:19Act 19:34-35Act 21:28-31 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. Act 20:4Act 27:2Col 4:10Phm 1:241Co 1:141Co 4:9Act 19:22Act 21:30 When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him. Act 21:392Sa 18:2-32Sa 21:17Act 14:14-18Act 17:22-31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater. Act 19:10Act 16:6Act 21:12Pro 16:7 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. Act 21:34Act 19:29Act 19:40Luk 7:24-26Mat 11:7-9 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. Act 12:171Ti 1:202Ti 4:14Act 13:16Act 21:40Act 24:10Act 26:1-2Luk 1:22 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!” Act 19:28Act 16:20Mat 6:7Rev 13:41Ki 18:26Act 19:26Rom 2:22
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? 2Th 2:10-111Ti 4:2Act 14:12-13Eph 2:12Act 18:19Act 19:26 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash. Pro 14:29Act 5:35-39Pro 25:8 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess. 2Co 6:3Rom 2:221Co 10:32Act 25:8 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. Act 13:71Co 6:1Act 18:14Deu 17:8 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly. 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.” 1Ki 1:41Act 17:5-8Act 20:1Act 21:31Act 21:38Mat 26:5 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly. 2Co 1:8-10Ecc 9:17Pro 15:1-2Psa 65:7
