Acts 19:19-21
New American Standard Bible 1995
19 And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it [a]fifty thousand (A)pieces of silver. 20 So [b](B)the word of the Lord (C)was growing mightily and prevailing.
21 Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the [c]Spirit to (D)go to Jerusalem (E)after he had passed through (F)Macedonia and (G)Achaia, saying, “After I have been there, (H)I must also see Rome.”
