Acts 19:8-10

The Word of the Lord Grows Mightily in Ephesus

Paul brings fuller gospel instruction to disciples in Ephesus, teaches the word daily until Asia hears it, confronts counterfeit spiritual power, sees public repentance from magic, and faces a riot because the gospel threatens Ephesian idolatry.

8Then Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God.

9But when some of them stubbornly refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way, Paul took his disciples and left the synagogue to conduct daily discussions in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.

10This continued for two years, so that everyone who lived in the province of Asia, Jews and Greeks alike, heard the word of the Lord.
