Acts 19:16-20

New Century Version

¹⁶ Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them. Because he was so much stronger than all of them, they ran away from the house naked and hurt. ¹⁷ All the people in Ephesus—Jews and Greeks—learned about this and were filled with fear and gave great honor to the Lord Jesus. ¹⁸ Many of the believers began to confess openly and tell all the evil things they had done. ¹⁹ Some of them who had used magic brought their magic books and burned them before everyone. Those books were worth about fifty thousand silver coins.^[a]

²⁰ So in a powerful way the word of the Lord kept spreading and growing.
