Ephesus » Paul visits and preaches in
doing service unto the Lord, with all humility and tears, and temptations which befell me through the plots of the Jews: in what manner I in nowise shrank from announcing unto you anything that was profitable and teaching you publicly and in your homes; bearing full witness, both to Jews and to Greeks, as to the repentance due unto God, and as to belief on our Lord Jesus. And, now, lo! I, bound in my spirit, am journeying unto Jerusalem; the things which therein shall befall me, not knowing, - save that, the Holy Spirit, from city to city, doth bear me full witness, saying that, bonds and tribulations, await me. But, for no cause whatever, am I making my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my course and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to bear full witness as to the good news of the favour of God. And, now, lo! I, know that, no more, shall ye see my face, - ye all, among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom. Wherefore I take you to witness, on this very day, that, pure am I from the blood of all; for I have not shrunk from announcing all the counsel of God unto you. Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers, - to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own. I, know, that there will enter, after my departure, grievous wolves into your midst, not sparing the little flock; and, from among your own selves, will arise men speaking distorted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Wherefore, be on the watch, remembering that, for three years, night and day, I gave myself no rest, with tears, admonishing each one. Now, therefore, I commend you unto the Lord, and unto his word of favour, - which is able to build up and give the inheritance among all the hallowed ones. The silver or gold or apparel of no one, did I covet: yourselves, acknowledge that, for my necessities and for those who were with me, hard wrought these hands! In all things, I gave you to understand, that, thus toiling, it behoves to be helping the weak, also to be keeping in mind the words of the Lord Jesus, that, he himself, said - Happy is it, rather to give than to receive! And, these things saying, kneeling down with them all, he prayed. And they all wept much, and, falling upon Paul's neck, they were tenderly kissing him; being most distressed for the word which he had said, - That, no more, should they, his face, behold. And they accompanied him unto the ship.

But, a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a learned man, came down to Ephesus, being, mighty, in the Scriptures. The same, had been orally taught the way of the Lord, and, being fervent in his spirit, began speaking and teaching accurately, the things concerning Jesus, - properly knowing, only the immersion of John. The same, also began speaking boldly in the synagogue; and Priscilla and Aquila, hearing him, took him unto them, and, more accurately, expounded unto him the way of God. And, he being minded to pass through into Achaia, the brethren urgently wrote unto the disciples to welcome him, - who, arriving, was very useful unto them who had believed, with his gift; for, with great force, began he confuting the Jews, publicly, shewing by the Scriptures that Jesus was, the Christ.
Ephesus » Apocalyptic message to
Nevertheless, I have against thee, that, thy first love, thou hast left. Remember, therefore, whence thou hast fallen, and repent, and do, thy first works; otherwise, I come unto thee, and will remove thy lamp out of its place, except thou repent. But, this, thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitanes, which, I also, hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what, the Spirit, is saying unto the assemblies. Unto him that overcometh - I will give, unto him, to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
