에베소에서
19 아볼로가 고린도에 있는 동안 바울은 윗 지방을 거쳐 에베소에 왔다. 바울 은 거기서 몇몇 신자들을 만나 물었다.
2 “여러분은 믿을 때에 성령을 받았습니까?” “우리는 성령이 있다는 것도 듣지 못했습니다.”
3 “그렇다면 여러분은 무슨 [a]세례를 받았습니까?” “요한의 세례입니다.”
4 “요한은 회개의 세례를 주면서 사람들에게 자기 뒤에 오시는 분을 믿으라고 했는데 그분이 곧 예수님이십니다.”
5 그들은 이 말을 듣고 주 예수님의 이름으로 세례를 받았다.
6 바울이 그들에게 손을 얹자 성령이 내려 그들은 방언도 하고 예언도 했는데
7 모두 열두 사람쯤 되었다.
8 바울은 회당에 들어가 석 달 동안 담대하게 하나님의 나라에 대하여 말하고 사람들과 토론하며 그들을 설득하였다.
9 그러나 어떤 사람들은 마음이 굳어 믿으려 하지 않고 오히려 공공연하게 [b]바울의 가르침을 비난하였다. 그래서 바울은 신자들을 데리고 그들을 떠나 날마다 두란노 학원에서 가르쳤다.
10 이렇게 두 해를 계속하는 동안 [c]아시아에 사는 유대인과 그리스 사람들이 모두 주님의 말씀을 듣게 되었다.
11 하나님은 바울을 통해 희한한 기적들을 행하셨다.
12 심지어 바울이 사용하던 손수건이나 앞치마를 가져다가 병든 사람에게 대기만 해도 병이 낫고 악한 귀신들이 나갔다.
13 이때 몇몇 떠돌이 유대인 무당들도 주 예수님의 이름을 이용하여 귀신들을 쫓아내려고 하였다. 그들은 악한 귀신들에게 “바울이 전하는 예수의 이름으로 내가 너희에게 명령한다. [d]나오너라” 하고 외쳤다.
14 유대인의 대제사장 스게와의 일곱 아들들이 이런 짓을 하였다.
15 그러자 악한 귀신이 “나는 예수님도 알고 바울도 아는데 도대체 너희는 누구냐?” 하고 대답하였다.
16 그러고서 귀신 들린 사람이 그들에게 달려들어 모두 때려 눕히자 그들은 상처를 입고 벗은 몸으로 그 집에서 도망쳐 나왔다.
17 에베소에 사는 유대인들과 그리스 사람들이 이 소문을 듣고 모두 두려워하며 주 예수님의 이름을 높이 찬양하였다.
18 그리고 많은 신자들도 찾아와서 자기들이 행한 일을 공적으로 고백하였고
19 많은 마술사들도 그들의 마술책을 모아 가지고 와서 사람들이 보는 데서 불태웠는데 그 책값은 무려 [e]50,000드라크마나 되었다.
20 이렇게 해서 주님의 말씀은 힘 있게 계속 퍼져나갔다.
에베소의 소동
21 그 후에 바울은 마케도니아와 아가야를 거쳐 예루살렘에 올라가기로 결심하고 “내가 거기 갔다가 후에 로마에도 가 봐야겠다” 고 하였다.
22 바울은 자기를 돕는 사람 가운데 디모데와 에라스도 두 사람을 마케도니아로 보내고 그는 아시아에 얼마 동안 더 머물러 있었다.
23 그 무렵 [f]사도들이 전한 주님의 말씀 때문에 에베소에 큰 소란이 일어났다.
24 거기에 데메드리오라는 은세공인이 있었는데 그는 은으로 아데미 여신의 모조 신전을 만들어 직공들에게 적지 않은 돈벌이를 하게 하였다.
25 그가 하루는 직공들과 동업자들을 불러 놓고 이렇게 말하였다. “여러분, 우리는 이 사업으로 잘 살고 있습니다.
26 그런데 바울이라는 사람이 사람의 손으로 만든 것은 신이 아니라면서 에베소뿐만 아니라 온 아시아에서 많은 사람들을 설득하여 그들의 마음을 돌려 놓은 것을 여러분도 보고 들었을 줄 압니다.
27 이러다가는 우리 사업에 대한 명성을 잃을 위험이 있을 뿐만 아니라 위대한 여신 아데미의 신전도 무가치하게 될 위험이 있습니다. 그렇게 되면 아시아와 온 세계가 섬기는 아데미 여신의 위엄마저 사라져 버릴 것입니다.”
28 그들은 이 말을 듣고 화가 머리 끝까지 치밀어 올라 “위대한 에베소의 여신 아데미여!” 하며 고래고래 소리쳤다.
29 이 일로 그 도시가 온통 소란해졌으며 군중들이 바울과 같이 다니던 마케도니아 사람 가이오와 아리스다고를 잡아가지고 일제히 연극장으로 달려갔다.
30 그때 바울이 군중들 앞에 나가려고 하자 신자들이 못 가게 말렸고
31 또 아시아 지방의 로마 관리 중 바울의 몇몇 친구들도 사람을 보내 연극장에 들어가지 말라고 간곡히 말렸다.
32 한편 군중들은 왜 모였는지조차 모르고 저마다 떠들어대서 연극장 안이 야단 법석이었다.
33 그때 몇몇 유대인들이 알렉산더라는 사람을 군중들 앞에 내세웠다. 그래서 알렉산더가 모두 조용히 하라고 손짓을 하며 변명하려고 하였으나
34 군중들은 그가 유대인이라는 것을 알고 일제히 “위대한 에베소의 여신 아데미여!” 하며 약 두 시간 동안이나 외쳐댔다.
35 마침내 [g]서기장이 나와 군중들을 진정시키고 이렇게 말하였다. “에베소 시민 여러분, 우리 도시가 위대한 여신 아데미의 신전과 하늘에서 내려온 신상의 수호자가 된 것은 모든 사람이 다 아는 일이 아닙니까?
36 이것은 부정할 수 없는 사실입니다. 그러므로 여러분은 진정하고 경솔하게 행동하지 마십시오.
37 여러분이 끌고 온 이 사람들은 신전의 물건을 훔치지도 않았고 우리 여신을 모독하지도 않았습니다.
38 그러므로 데메드리오와 또 함께 온 직공 여러분이 고소할 사람이 있으면 재판할 날도 있고 총독들도 있으니 거기에 가서 고소하도록 하고
39 그 밖에 다른 문제가 있으면 합법적인 [h]모임에서 해결짓도록 하십시오.
40 아무 이유도 없는 오늘의 이 소란 때문에 우리가 로마 정부로부터 문책당할 위험이 있습니다. 그렇게 된다면 이 불법 집회에 대하여 우리는 변명할 말이 없을 것입니다.”
41 이렇게 말하고서 그는 군중들을 해산시켰다.
Acts 19
King James Version
19 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,
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.
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
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.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
7 And all the men were about twelve.
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.
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.
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.
11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
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.
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.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
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.
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.
18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
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.
20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
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.
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.
23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
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:
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.
28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
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.
30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
36 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
37 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
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.
39 But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
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.
41 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
Acts 19
New King James Version
Paul at Ephesus
19 And it happened, while (A)Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through (B)the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
So they said to him, (C)“We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
So they said, (D)“Into John’s baptism.”
4 Then Paul said, (E)“John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized (F)in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had (G)laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and (H)they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all.
8 (I)And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading (J)concerning the things of the kingdom of God. 9 But (K)when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil (L)of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10 And (M)this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Miracles Glorify Christ
11 Now (N)God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 (O)so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. 13 (P)Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists (Q)took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, [a]“We [b]exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul (R)preaches.” 14 Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?”
16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, [c]overpowered them, and prevailed against [d]them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and (S)fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 18 And many who had believed came (T)confessing and telling their deeds. 19 Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 (U)So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.
The Riot at Ephesus
21 (V)When these things were accomplished, Paul (W)purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through (X)Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, (Y)I must also see Rome.” 22 So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, (Z)Timothy and (AA)Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.
23 And (AB)about that time there arose a great commotion about (AC)the Way. 24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of [e]Diana, brought (AD)no small profit to the craftsmen. 25 He called them together with the workers of similar occupation, and said: “Men, you know that we have our prosperity by this trade. 26 Moreover you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that (AE)they are not gods which are made with hands. 27 So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and [f]her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.”
28 Now when they heard this, they were full of wrath and cried out, saying, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” 29 So the whole city was filled with confusion, and rushed into the theater with one accord, having seized (AF)Gaius and (AG)Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s travel companions. 30 And when Paul wanted to go in to the people, the disciples would not allow him. 31 Then some of the [g]officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him pleading that he would not venture into the theater. 32 Some therefore cried one thing and some another, for the assembly was confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together. 33 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And (AH)Alexander (AI)motioned with his hand, and wanted to make his defense to the people. 34 But when they found out that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!”
35 And when the city clerk had quieted the crowd, he said: “Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple guardian of the great goddess [h]Diana, and of the image which fell down from [i]Zeus? 36 Therefore, since these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rashly. 37 For you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of [j]your goddess. 38 Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a [k]case against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another. 39 But if you have any other inquiry to make, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly. 40 For we are in danger of being [l]called in question for today’s uproar, there being no reason which we may give to account for this disorderly gathering.” 41 And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
