KJV ¹ And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,

TR1550 ¹ ἐγένετο δὲ, ἐν τῷ τὸν ἀπολλῶ εἶναι ἐν κορίνθῳ, παῦλον διελθόντα τὰ ἀνωτερικὰ μέρη ἐλθεῖν εἰς ἔφεσον καὶ εὑρών τινας μαθητάς

KJV ² He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

TR1550 ² εἶπέ πρὸς αὐτούς, εἰ πνεῦμα ἅγιον ἐλάβετε πιστεύσαντες; οἱ δὲ εῖπον πρὸς αὐτόν, ἀλλ οὐδὲ εἰ πνεῦμα ἅγιον ἔστιν, ἠκούσαμεν.

KJV ³ And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

TR1550 ³ εἶπέ τε πρὸς αὐτοὺς, εἰς τί οὖν ἐβαπτίσθητε; οἱ δὲ εἶπον, εἰς τὸ ἰωάννου βάπτισμα.

KJV ⁴ Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

TR1550 ⁴ εἶπε δὲ παῦλος, ἰωάννης μὲν ἐβάπτισεν βάπτισμα μετανοίας, τῷ λαῷ λέγων εἰς τὸν ἐρχόμενον μετ᾽ αὐτὸν ἵνα πιστεύσωσι τουτ’ ἔστιν, εἰς τὸν χριστὸν ἰησοῦν.

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

TR1550 ⁵ ἀκούσαντες δὲ ἐβαπτίσθησαν εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου ἰησοῦ.

KJV ⁶ And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

TR1550 ⁶ καὶ ἐπιθέντος αὐτοῖς τοῦ παύλου τὰς χεῖρας, ἦλθε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς, ἐλάλουν τε γλώσσαις καὶ προεφήτευον.

KJV ⁷ And all the men were about twelve.

TR1550 ⁷ ἦσαν δὲ οἱ πάντες ἄνδρες ὡσεὶ δεκαδύο.

KJV ⁸ And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.

TR1550 ⁸ εἰσελθὼν δὲ εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν ἐπαῤῥησιάζετο ἐπὶ μῆνας τρεῖς διαλεγόμενος καὶ πείθων τὰ περὶ τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ θεοῦ

KJV ⁹ But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

TR1550 ⁹ ὡς δέ τινες ἐσκληρύνοντο καὶ ἠπείθουν κακολογοῦντες τὴν ὁδὸν ἐνώπιον τοῦ πλήθους ἀποστὰς ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἀφώρισεν τοὺς μαθητάς καθ᾽ ἡμέραν διαλεγόμενος ἐν τῇ σχολῇ τυράννου τινός

KJV ¹⁰ And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

TR1550 ¹⁰ τοῦτο δὲ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ ἔτη δύο ὥστε πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν ἀσίαν ἀκοῦσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ κυρίου ἰησοῦ, ἰουδαίους τε καὶ ἕλληνας

KJV ¹¹ And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

TR1550 ¹¹ δυνάμεις τε οὐ τὰς τυχούσας ἐποίει ὁ θεὸς διὰ τῶν χειρῶν παύλου

KJV ¹² So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

TR1550 ¹² ὥστε καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀσθενοῦντας ἐπιφέρεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ σουδάρια ἢ σιμικίνθια καὶ ἀπαλλάσσεσθαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν τὰς νόσους τά τε πνεύματα τὰ πονηρὰ ἐξέρχεσθαι ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν

KJV ¹³ Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

TR1550 ¹³ ἐπεχείρησαν δέ τινες ἀπὸ τῶν περιερχομένων ἰουδαίων ἐξορκιστῶν ὀνομάζειν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἔχοντας τὰ πνεύματα τὰ πονηρὰ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου ἰησοῦ λέγοντες ὁρκίζομεν ὑμᾶς τὸν ἰησοῦν ὃν ὁ παῦλος κηρύσσει

KJV ¹⁴ And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

TR1550 ¹⁴ ἦσαν δέ τινές υἱοὶ σκευᾶ ἰουδαίου ἀρχιερέως ἑπτὰ οἱ τοῦτο ποιοῦντες

KJV ¹⁵ And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?

TR1550 ¹⁵ ἀποκριθὲν δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ πονηρὸν εἶπεν τὸν ἰησοῦν γινώσκω καὶ τὸν παῦλον ἐπίσταμαι ὑμεῖς δὲ τίνες ἐστέ

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

TR1550 ¹⁶ καὶ ἐφαλλόμενος ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐν ᾧ ἦν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ πονηρὸν καὶ κατακυριεύσας αὐτῶν ἴσχυσεν κατ᾽ αὐτῶν, ὥστε γυμνοὺς καὶ τετραυματισμένους ἐκφυγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου ἐκείνου

KJV ¹⁷ And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

TR1550 ¹⁷ τοῦτο δὲ ἐγένετο γνωστὸν πᾶσιν ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ ἕλλησιν τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν τὴν ἔφεσον καὶ ἐπέπεσεν φόβος ἐπὶ πάντας αὐτούς καὶ ἐμεγαλύνετο τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ κυρίου ἰησοῦ

KJV ¹⁸ And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.

TR1550 ¹⁸ πολλοί τε τῶν πεπιστευκότων ἤρχοντο ἐξομολογούμενοι καὶ ἀναγγέλλοντες τὰς πράξεις αὐτῶν

KJV ¹⁹ Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

TR1550 ¹⁹ ἱκανοὶ δὲ τῶν τὰ περίεργα πραξάντων συνενέγκαντες τὰς βίβλους κατέκαιον ἐνώπιον πάντων καὶ συνεψήφισαν τὰς τιμὰς αὐτῶν καὶ εὗρον ἀργυρίου μυριάδας πέντε

KJV ²⁰ So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

TR1550 ²⁰ οὕτως κατὰ κράτος ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου ηὔξανεν καὶ ἴσχυεν

KJV ²¹ After these things were ended, Paul purposed 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.

TR1550 ²¹ ὡς δὲ ἐπληρώθη ταῦτα ἔθετο ὁ παῦλος ἐν τῷ πνεύματι διελθὼν τὴν μακεδονίαν καὶ ἀχαΐαν πορεύεσθαι εἰς ἱερουσάλημ, εἰπὼν ὅτι μετὰ τὸ γενέσθαι με ἐκεῖ δεῖ με καὶ ῥώμην ἰδεῖν

KJV ²² So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.

TR1550 ²² ἀποστείλας δὲ εἰς τὴν μακεδονίαν δύο τῶν διακονούντων αὐτῷ τιμόθεον καὶ ἔραστον αὐτὸς ἐπέσχεν χρόνον εἰς τὴν ἀσίαν

KJV ²³ And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.

TR1550 ²³ ἐγένετο δὲ κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν ἐκεῖνον τάραχος οὐκ ὀλίγος περὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ

KJV ²⁴ For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;

TR1550 ²⁴ δημήτριος γάρ τις ὀνόματι ἀργυροκόπος ποιῶν ναοὺς ἀργυροῦς ἀρτέμιδος παρείχετο τοῖς τεχνίταις ἐργασίαν οὐκ ὀλίγην

KJV ²⁵ Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

TR1550 ²⁵ οὓς συναθροίσας καὶ τοὺς περὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα ἐργάτας εἶπεν ἄνδρες ἐπίστασθε ὅτι ἐκ ταύτης τῆς ἐργασίας ἡ εὐπορία ἡμῶν ἐστιν

KJV ²⁶ Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:

TR1550 ²⁶ καὶ θεωρεῖτε καὶ ἀκούετε ὅτι οὐ μόνον ἐφέσου ἀλλὰ σχεδὸν πάσης τῆς ἀσίας ὁ παῦλος οὗτος πείσας μετέστησεν ἱκανὸν ὄχλον λέγων ὅτι οὐκ εἰσὶν θεοὶ οἱ διὰ χειρῶν γινόμενοι

KJV ²⁷ So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

TR1550 ²⁷ οὐ μόνον δὲ τοῦτο κινδυνεύει ἡμῖν τὸ μέρος εἰς ἀπελεγμὸν ἐλθεῖν ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ τῆς μεγάλης θεᾶς ἀρτέμιδος ἱερὸν εἰς οὐδὲν λογισθῆναι μέλλειν δὲ καὶ καθαιρεῖσθαι τήν μεγαλειότητα αὐτῆς ἣν ὅλη ἡ ἀσία καὶ ἡ οἰκουμένη σέβεται

KJV ²⁸ And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

TR1550 ²⁸ ἀκούσαντες δὲ καὶ γενόμενοι πλήρεις θυμοῦ ἔκραζον λέγοντες μεγάλη ἡ ἄρτεμις ἐφεσίων

KJV ²⁹ And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.

TR1550 ²⁹ καὶ ἐπλήσθη ἡ πόλις ὅλη συγχύσεως ὥρμησάν τε ὁμοθυμαδὸν εἰς τὸ θέατρον συναρπάσαντες γάϊον καὶ ἀρίσταρχον μακεδόνας συνεκδήμους τοῦ παύλου

KJV ³⁰ And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

TR1550 ³⁰ τοῦ δὲ παύλου βουλομένου εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὸν δῆμον οὐκ εἴων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταί

KJV ³¹ And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.

TR1550 ³¹ τινὲς δὲ καὶ τῶν ἀσιαρχῶν ὄντες αὐτῷ φίλοι πέμψαντες πρὸς αὐτὸν παρεκάλουν μὴ δοῦναι ἑαυτὸν εἰς τὸ θέατρον

KJV ³² Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.

TR1550 ³² ἄλλοι μὲν οὖν ἄλλο τι ἔκραζον ἦν γὰρ ἡ ἐκκλησία συγκεχυμένη καὶ οἱ πλείους οὐκ ᾔδεισαν τίνος ἕνεκεν συνεληλύθεισαν

KJV ³³ And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.

TR1550 ³³ ἐκ δὲ τοῦ ὄχλου προεβίβασαν ἀλέξανδρον προβαλόντων αὐτὸν τῶν ἰουδαίων ὁ δὲ ἀλέξανδρος κατασείσας τὴν χεῖρα ἤθελεν ἀπολογεῖσθαι τῷ δήμῳ

KJV ³⁴ But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

TR1550 ³⁴ ἐπιγνόντων δὲ ὅτι ἰουδαῖός ἐστιν φωνὴ ἐγένετο μία ἐκ πάντων ὡς ἐπὶ ὥρας δύο κραζόντων μεγάλη ἡ ἄρτεμις ἐφεσίων

KJV ³⁵ And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?

TR1550 ³⁵ καταστείλας δὲ ὁ γραμματεὺς τὸν ὄχλον φησίν ἄνδρες ἐφέσιοι τίς γάρ ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐ γινώσκει τὴν ἐφεσίων πόλιν νεωκόρον οὖσαν τῆς μεγάλης θεᾶς ἀρτέμιδος καὶ τοῦ διοπετοῦς

KJV ³⁶ Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

TR1550 ³⁶ ἀναντιῤῥήτων οὖν ὄντων τούτων δέον ἐστὶν ὑμᾶς κατεσταλμένους ὑπάρχειν καὶ μηδὲν προπετὲς πράττειν

KJV ³⁷ For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

TR1550 ³⁷ ἠγάγετε γὰρ τοὺς ἄνδρας τούτους οὔτε ἱεροσύλους οὔτε βλασφημοῦντας τὴν θεὰν ὑμῶν

KJV ³⁸ Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.

TR1550 ³⁸ εἰ μὲν οὖν δημήτριος καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ τεχνῖται πρός τινα λόγον ἔχουσιν ἀγοραῖοι ἄγονται καὶ ἀνθύπατοί εἰσιν ἐγκαλείτωσαν ἀλλήλοις

KJV ³⁹ But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.

TR1550 ³⁹ εἰ δέ τι πὲρι ἑτέρων ἐπιζητεῖτε ἐν τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐπιλυθήσεται

KJV ⁴⁰ For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.

TR1550 ⁴⁰ καὶ γὰρ κινδυνεύομεν ἐγκαλεῖσθαι στάσεως περὶ τῆς σήμερον μηδενὸς αἰτίου ὑπάρχοντος περὶ οὗ δυνησόμεθα ἀποδοῦναι λόγον τῆς συστροφῆς ταύτης

KJV ⁴¹ And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

TR1550 ⁴¹ καί ταῦτά εἰπών ἀπέλυσεν τήν ἐκκλησίαν
