4 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.”
Said then Paul; John (indeed *k) baptized a baptism of repentance to the people telling about the [One] coming after him that they may believe, That is in (Christ *K) Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

13 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.”
Attempted now some of (also *N+kO) of the itinerant Jewish exorcists to invoke over those having spirits evil the name of the Lord Jesus saying; (I adjure *N+KO) you [by] Jesus whom Paul proclaims.
14 There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
They were now (of a certain *N+kO) of Sceva a Jewish a high priest seven sons this were doing.
15 The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”
Answering however the spirit evil said (to them: *no) (indeed *no) Jesus I know and Paul I am acquainted with; you yourselves however who are you?

19 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.
Many now of those the magic arts having practiced having brought together the books were burning [them] before all; And they counted up the prices of them and found [it] of silverlings myriads five.
20 So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.

21 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.”

24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
Demetrius for a certain [man] named, a silversmith making shrines silver of Artemis, was bringing to the craftsmen no little business

whom having brought together also the in such things Workmen he said; Men, you know that from this business the wealth (of us *N+kO) is,
26 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.
And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but almost in all of Asia Paul this having persuaded [them] he has turned away a great many people saying that not they are gods through hands being made.
27 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.”
Not only but this is endangered to us the business into disrepute to come but also the of the great goddess Artemis temple as no [thing] to be reckoned, to be (and *N+kO) also deposing (the majesty *N+kO) of her whom all Asia and the world worship.

Paul however intending to go in to the people not were allowing him the disciples;
31 Certain also of the Asiarchs, being his friends, sent to him and begged him not to venture into the theater.
Some then also of the Asiarchs being to him friends, having sent to him they were urging [him] not to venture himself into the theatre.
32 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.
Others indeed therefore some thing were crying out; was for the assembly confused, and most not did know for what cause they had assembled.
33 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.
Out of now the crowd (brought forward *N+kO) Alexander when were thrusting forward him the Jews; And Alexander having motioned with the hand was wanting to present a defense to the people.
34 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!”
(Having recognized *N+kO) however that a Jew he is, a cry there was one from all (about *NK+o) ongoing hours two crying out; Great [is] Artemis of [the] Ephesians.
35 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?
having calmed then the town clerk the crowd he says; Men Ephesians, who for is there (of men *N+kO) who not knows the of [the] Ephesians city temple-keeper as being of the great (goddess *k) Artemis and of that fallen from the sky?
36 Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.
Undeniable therefore are being these things necessary it is for you quietened to be and nothing rash to do.
37 For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.
You brought for men these neither temple plunderers nor blaspheming the (goddess *N+kO) (of us. *N+KO)
38 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.
If indeed therefore Demetrius and the with him craftsmen have against anyone a matter courts are conducted and proconsuls there are; they should accuse to one another.
39 But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
If however anything (beyond this *N+KO) you inquire, in the lawful assembly it will be solved.
40 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.”
And for we are in danger of being accused of insurrection in regard to this day not one cause there is existing concerning which not we will be able (to render *NK+o) a reason (for *no) commotion this.
41 When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
And these things having said he dismissed the assembly.
