¹⁵ You are aware that ^(A)all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

¹⁶ At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. ^(A)May it not be charged against them!

²¹ For they all ^(A)seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

¹⁰ For ^(A)Demas, ^(B)in love with ^(C)this present world, ^(D)has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia,^{[a] (E)}Titus to Dalmatia. ^11 (F)Luke alone is with me. Get ^(G)Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry.

¹⁰ This continued for ^(A)two years, so that ^(B)all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

Greetings

¹⁹ The churches of Asia send you greetings. ^(A)Aquila and Prisca, together with ^(B)the church in their house, send you hearty greetings in the Lord.

²⁷ And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the ^(A)great goddess Artemis may be counted as nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship.”

The Macedonian Call

⁶ And ^(A)they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

¹⁶ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia, for he was hastening ^(A)to be at Jerusalem, if possible, ^(B)on the day of Pentecost.

³¹ And even some of the Asiarchs,^[a] who were friends of his, sent to him and were urging him not to venture into the theater.
