Acts19,1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples > From where are they coming?
2 and asked them, Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? They answered, No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. > OK - i see
3 So Paul asked, Then what baptism did you receive? John's baptism, they replied. > ...
4 Paul said, John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus. > Amen
5 On hearing this, they were baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus. > Finaly
6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. > interesting - (?)
7 There were about twelve men in all. > not like 3000 in one day - how about placing hand on 3000.
8 Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. > Paul speaks boldly, for 3month: ARGUING PERSUASIVELY : toppic, the kingdom of God.
9 But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe> It is a decision and publicly maligned the Way.> They became aggressive. So Paul left them. > > > He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. > Disciples daily / with his disciples / in a lecture hall: For all who are interested.
10 This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord. > 2Years - all in the province of Asia head the word of Lord!
11 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, > Also miracles
12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them. > IT WAS AMAZING!!!
13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon- possessed. They would say, In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out. > Wow - they tried...
14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
15 One day the evil spirit answered them, Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you? > one day - all the other days, it worked?!...
16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. > Oh crazy
17 When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honour. > yes
18 Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds. > CONFESSION
19 A number who had practised sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. > intense When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas. > Wow
20 In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power. > THE WORD GREW IN POWER ?...!
21 After all this had happened, Paul decided to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. After I have been there, he said, I must visit Rome also. > Luke is their as well
22 He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, to Macedonia, while he stayed in the province of Asia a little longer. > Some went ahead.
amazing things happened!
> Paul leaves Corinth because Apollos is preaching their now. He is going to Ephesus. He finds disciple. He baptizes them again. They receive the Holly Spirit by Paul laying hands on them. Paul is in the synagog. Some Jews turn away from believing. They become aggressive against Paul. Paul is leaving the Synagog. He makes discussion in lector hall. This, he is doing for 2years. Also miracles happen. Amazing miracles. People start to be in awe of the powerful name 'Jesus'. People come and confess openly. Other people burn their scrolls or sorcery.
