A C T S. CHAP. XIX. We left Paul in his circuit visiting the churches ( Acts 18:23 ; Acts 18:23 ), but we have not forgotten, nor has he, the promise he made to his friends at Ephesus, to return to them, and make some stay there; now this chapter shows us his performance of that promise, his coming to Ephesus, and his continuance there two years; we are here told, I. How he laboured there in the word and doctrine, how he taught some weak believers that had gone no further than John's baptism ( Acts 19:1-7 ), how he taught three months in the synagogue of the Jews ( Acts 19:8 ), and, when he was driven thence, how he taught the Gentiles a long time in a public school ( Acts 19:9 ; Acts 19:10 ), and how he confirmed his doctrine by miracles, Acts 19:11 ; Acts 19:12 . II. What was the fruit of his labour, particularly among the conjurors, the worst of sinners: some were confounded, that did but make use of his name ( Acts 19:13-17 ), but others were converted, that received and embraced his doctrine, Acts 19:18-20 . III. What projects he had of further usefulness ( Acts 19:21 ; Acts 19:22 ), and what trouble at length he met with at Ephesus from the silversmiths, which forced him thence to pursue the measures he had laid; how a mob was raised by Demetrius to cry up Diana ( Acts 19:23-34 ), and how it was suppressed and dispersed by the town-clerk, Acts 19:35-41 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-7" class="com-number"
