Acts 19:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ Many of those who had come to believe came, confessing their past practices. ¹⁹ This included a number of people who practiced sorcery. They collected their sorcery texts and burned them publicly. The value of those materials was calculated at more than someone might make if they worked for one hundred sixty-five years.^{[a] 20} In this way the Lord’s word grew abundantly and strengthened powerfully.
