Acts 19:17-20
Wycliffe Bible
17 And this thing was made known to all the Jews and heathen men, that dwelled at Ephesus; and dread fell down on them all, and they magnified the name of the Lord Jesus.
18 And many men believed, and came [And many of them believing came], acknowledging and telling their deeds.
19 And many of them that followed curious things, brought together books, and burned them before all men; and when the prices of those were acounted [and the prices of them acounted], they found money of fifty thousand pence;
20 so strongly the word of God waxed, and was confirmed.
