And there are diversities of gifts but the same Spirit; and there are diversities of services and the same Lord; and there are diversities of operations and the same God, who performs all things in all.

Missionary journeys » Ac 13-14 » Third - with timothy and others
and having spent some time there he went away, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples. AND a certain Jew by the name of Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, being powerful in the Scriptures. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in spirit spoke and taught correctly the doctrines concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John; read more.
and this man began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Priscilla and Aquila hearing him took him and taught him more accurately the way. And he wishing to go into Achaia, the brothers sent him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. And when he came he helped those much who had believed through the grace; for he argued powerfully against the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. And when Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, passing through the higher portions of the country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples; and he said to them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? And they said to him, We have not heard that there is a Holy Spirit. And he said to them, With what then were you baptized? And they said, With John's baptism. Paul said, John indeed baptized [administered] the baptism of a change of mind, telling the people to believe on him that was to come after him, that is, on Jesus. And hearing this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus: and Paul putting his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve. And going into the synagogue he spoke boldly, for three months, reasoning and persuading in favor of the kingdom of God. But when some were hardened and believed not, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples from them, and reasoned day by day in the school of one Tyrannus. And this was done for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. And God performed unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that napkins and aprons were brought from him to the sick, and their diseases left them, and the evil spirits went out of them. And some of the travelling Jewish exorcists undertook to call over those that had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches. And there were some seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this. But the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped upon them, and overcome them, and prevailed against them, so that they escaped from his house, naked and wounded. And this was known both to all the Jews and Greeks who lived at Ephesus, and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified; and many of those who believed came and confessed, and showed their practices. And many of those who practised secret arts brought their books, and burnt them before all; and they computed the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand [didrachmas] of silver [$8,333]. So the word of the Lord increased powerfully and prevailed. And when these things were accomplished, Paul was disposed by the Spirit, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome. And sending two that served him into Macedonia, Timothy and Erastus, he continued a time in Asia. And there was at that time no small tumult about the way [of the Lord]. For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, who made silver temples of Diana, and afforded his artisans no small gain, assembling them together and laborers of like employments, said, Men, you know that our prosperity is derived from this employment, and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but in almost all Asia, this Paul has led away a great multitude by persuasion, saying that things which are made by hands are not gods. And not only this work of ours is in danger of coming into contempt, but even the temple of the great goddess Diana of being set at nought, and her majesty also which all Asia and the world worships, of being destroyed. And hearing this they were full of wrath, and cried, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians! And the whole city was full of confusion; and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, taking Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow travellers of Paul. And Paul wishing to go in to the people, the disciples did not permit him; and some of the rulers of Asia also, who were friendly to him, sending to him, besought him not to expose himself in the theatre. Some therefore cried one thing, and some another; for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what reason they had come together. And they advanced Alexander from the multitude, the Jews putting him forward; and Alexander motioning with his hand, wished to defend himself before the people. But knowing that he was a Jew, there was one voice from all, for about two hours, crying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the clerk having stilled the multitude, said, Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of the Jove descended [image]? These things therefore being indisputable, it is best to be quiet, and do nothing rashly. For you have brought these men here, who are neither temple-robbers nor blasphemers of your goddess. If, therefore, Demetrius and the artisans with him have a charge against any, court days are held, and there are pro-consuls; let them accuse one another. And if you desire any thing of other matters, let it be determined in a lawful assembly. For we are in danger of being called to account for the tumult of to-day, there being no cause by which we can excuse this concourse. And having said these words he dismissed the assembly. AFTER the tumult was allayed, Paul calling the disciples and embracing them departed to go into Macedonia. And going through those parts, and exhorting them with many words, he went into Greece; and when he had staid there three months, and a conspiracy was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to sail to Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia. And there followed him to Asia, Sopater the son of Pyrrhus of Berea, and of those of Thessalonica, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and those of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus; these going before waited for us at Troas. And we sailed from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to those at Troas in five days, where we staid seven days. And on the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul preached to them, being about to depart on the next day, and continued his discourse till midnight; and there were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled. And a young man by the name of Eutychus sitting in a window, falling into a deep sleep while Paul preached long, and being overcome by sleep, fell from the third story down, and was taken up dead. But Paul going down fell on him, and embracing him, said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him. And going up and breaking bread, and tasting it, and conversing a long time till the break of day, he departed. And they brought away the child alive, and were not a little comforted. And we going before by ship sailed to Assos, being about to take in Paul at that place; for so had he appointed, being about to go on foot himself. And when he met us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene, and sailing thence, on the next day we came opposite to Chios, and in another day we touched at Samos, and stopping at Trogylium, on the day following we came to Miletus. For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that it might not be necessary for him to spend a long time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem at the day of Pentecost. And from Miletus sending to Ephesus he called for the elders of the church. And when they had come to him, he said to them, You know from the first day that I came into Asia, how I was with you at all times, serving the Lord with all humility, and tears and trials that befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews, how I kept not back from declaring to you and teaching you publicly and from house to house any thing that was profitable, testifying both to Jews and Greeks the change of mind to God, and the faith in our Lord Jesus. And behold now, I go constrained by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things which shall befall me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying, That bonds and afflictions await me. But life precious to myself, I make of no account that I may finish my course and the service which I received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. And now, behold, I know that you all among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom shall see my face no more. Wherefore I call you to witness this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men; for I have not kept back from declaring to you all the counsel of God. Take heed to yourselves, therefore, and to all the flock in which the Holy Spirit has made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he has purchased with his blood. For I know that after my departure grievous wolves will come among you, not sparing the flock, and of yourselves men will arise speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not to admonish every one of you with tears. And now I commend you to God, and the word of his grace, who is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance with all the sanctified. I have coveted no man's silver or gold or clothing; you yourselves know that these hands have served my necessities and those with me. I have showed you all things, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. And having said these words he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. And they all wept much, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him, grieving most of all for the word which he said, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship. AND when we had torn ourselves from them we set sail, and going in a straight course came to Cos, and on the next day to Rhodes, and thence to Patara. And finding a ship crossing to Phenicia, going on board we set sail. And observing Cyprus, and leaving it on the left, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to discharge her cargo. And finding the disciples we continued there seven days; and they told Paul, by the Spirit, not to go on to Jerusalem. And when we had completed the days we went out and proceeded on our journey, they all attending us with their wives and children till without the city, and kneeling down on the shore we prayed, and having saluted each other we went to the ship, and they returned to their homes. Having completed our voyage from Tyre we went to Ptolemais, and having saluted the brothers continued with them one day. And departing on the next day we came to Caesarea, and going to the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we staid with him. This man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. And having continued there many days, there came down a certain prophet from Judea by the name of Agabus, and coming to us, and taking Paul's girdle, and binding his hands and feet, he said, These things, says the Holy Spirit; Thus will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle, and deliver him into the hands of the gentiles. And when we heard these things, we and the people of the place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. But Paul answered, What do you do, to weep and break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus. And he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done. And after these days, having made preparation, we went up to Jerusalem;
and this man began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Priscilla and Aquila hearing him took him and taught him more accurately the way. And he wishing to go into Achaia, the brothers sent him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. And when he came he helped those much who had believed through the grace; for he argued powerfully against the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.

For we are in danger of being called to account for the tumult of to-day, there being no cause by which we can excuse this concourse. And having said these words he dismissed the assembly. AFTER the tumult was allayed, Paul calling the disciples and embracing them departed to go into Macedonia. And going through those parts, and exhorting them with many words, he went into Greece; and when he had staid there three months, and a conspiracy was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to sail to Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia. And there followed him to Asia, Sopater the son of Pyrrhus of Berea, and of those of Thessalonica, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and those of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus; these going before waited for us at Troas. And we sailed from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and came to those at Troas in five days, where we staid seven days. And on the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul preached to them, being about to depart on the next day, and continued his discourse till midnight; and there were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled. And a young man by the name of Eutychus sitting in a window, falling into a deep sleep while Paul preached long, and being overcome by sleep, fell from the third story down, and was taken up dead. But Paul going down fell on him, and embracing him, said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him. And going up and breaking bread, and tasting it, and conversing a long time till the break of day, he departed. And they brought away the child alive, and were not a little comforted. And we going before by ship sailed to Assos, being about to take in Paul at that place; for so had he appointed, being about to go on foot himself. And when he met us at Assos, we took him in and came to Mitylene, and sailing thence, on the next day we came opposite to Chios, and in another day we touched at Samos, and stopping at Trogylium, on the day following we came to Miletus. For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, that it might not be necessary for him to spend a long time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be at Jerusalem at the day of Pentecost. And from Miletus sending to Ephesus he called for the elders of the church. And when they had come to him, he said to them, You know from the first day that I came into Asia, how I was with you at all times, serving the Lord with all humility, and tears and trials that befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews, how I kept not back from declaring to you and teaching you publicly and from house to house any thing that was profitable, testifying both to Jews and Greeks the change of mind to God, and the faith in our Lord Jesus. And behold now, I go constrained by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things which shall befall me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying, That bonds and afflictions await me. But life precious to myself, I make of no account that I may finish my course and the service which I received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. And now, behold, I know that you all among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom shall see my face no more. Wherefore I call you to witness this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men; for I have not kept back from declaring to you all the counsel of God. Take heed to yourselves, therefore, and to all the flock in which the Holy Spirit has made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he has purchased with his blood. For I know that after my departure grievous wolves will come among you, not sparing the flock, and of yourselves men will arise speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not to admonish every one of you with tears. And now I commend you to God, and the word of his grace, who is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance with all the sanctified. I have coveted no man's silver or gold or clothing; you yourselves know that these hands have served my necessities and those with me. I have showed you all things, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. And having said these words he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. And they all wept much, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him, grieving most of all for the word which he said, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship. AND when we had torn ourselves from them we set sail, and going in a straight course came to Cos, and on the next day to Rhodes, and thence to Patara. And finding a ship crossing to Phenicia, going on board we set sail. And observing Cyprus, and leaving it on the left, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to discharge her cargo. And finding the disciples we continued there seven days; and they told Paul, by the Spirit, not to go on to Jerusalem. And when we had completed the days we went out and proceeded on our journey, they all attending us with their wives and children till without the city, and kneeling down on the shore we prayed, and having saluted each other we went to the ship, and they returned to their homes. Having completed our voyage from Tyre we went to Ptolemais, and having saluted the brothers continued with them one day. And departing on the next day we came to Caesarea, and going to the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we staid with him. This man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. And having continued there many days, there came down a certain prophet from Judea by the name of Agabus, and coming to us, and taking Paul's girdle, and binding his hands and feet, he said, These things, says the Holy Spirit; Thus will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle, and deliver him into the hands of the gentiles. And when we heard these things, we and the people of the place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. But Paul answered, What do you do, to weep and break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus. And he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done. And after these days, having made preparation, we went up to Jerusalem;
Paul's » First - with barnabas and john mark ac 13-14 » Third - with timothy and others
and having spent some time there he went away, passing in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia, confirming all the disciples. AND a certain Jew by the name of Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, being powerful in the Scriptures. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in spirit spoke and taught correctly the doctrines concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John; read more.
and this man began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Priscilla and Aquila hearing him took him and taught him more accurately the way. And he wishing to go into Achaia, the brothers sent him, and wrote to the disciples to receive him. And when he came he helped those much who had believed through the grace; for he argued powerfully against the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. And when Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, passing through the higher portions of the country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples; and he said to them, Have you received the Holy Spirit since you believed? And they said to him, We have not heard that there is a Holy Spirit. And he said to them, With what then were you baptized? And they said, With John's baptism. Paul said, John indeed baptized [administered] the baptism of a change of mind, telling the people to believe on him that was to come after him, that is, on Jesus. And hearing this they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus: and Paul putting his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. And all the men were about twelve. And going into the synagogue he spoke boldly, for three months, reasoning and persuading in favor of the kingdom of God. But when some were hardened and believed not, speaking evil of the way before the multitude, he left them and separated the disciples from them, and reasoned day by day in the school of one Tyrannus. And this was done for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks. And God performed unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that napkins and aprons were brought from him to the sick, and their diseases left them, and the evil spirits went out of them. And some of the travelling Jewish exorcists undertook to call over those that had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches. And there were some seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, who did this. But the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped upon them, and overcome them, and prevailed against them, so that they escaped from his house, naked and wounded. And this was known both to all the Jews and Greeks who lived at Ephesus, and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified; and many of those who believed came and confessed, and showed their practices. And many of those who practised secret arts brought their books, and burnt them before all; and they computed the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand [didrachmas] of silver [$8,333]. So the word of the Lord increased powerfully and prevailed. And when these things were accomplished, Paul was disposed by the Spirit, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there I must see Rome. And sending two that served him into Macedonia, Timothy and Erastus, he continued a time in Asia. And there was at that time no small tumult about the way [of the Lord]. For a certain Demetrius by name, a silversmith, who made silver temples of Diana, and afforded his artisans no small gain, assembling them together and laborers of like employments, said, Men, you know that our prosperity is derived from this employment, and you see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but in almost all Asia, this Paul has led away a great multitude by persuasion, saying that things which are made by hands are not gods. And not only this work of ours is in danger of coming into contempt, but even the temple of the great goddess Diana of being set at nought, and her majesty also which all Asia and the world worships, of being destroyed. And hearing this they were full of wrath, and cried, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians! And the whole city was full of confusion; and they rushed with one accord to the theatre, taking Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow travellers of Paul. And Paul wishing to go in to the people, the disciples did not permit him; and some of the rulers of Asia also, who were friendly to him, sending to him, besought him not to expose himself in the theatre. Some therefore cried one thing, and some another; for the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what reason they had come together. And they advanced Alexander from the multitude, the Jews putting him forward; and Alexander motioning with his hand, wished to defend himself before the people. But knowing that he was a Jew, there was one voice from all, for about two hours, crying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. And the clerk having stilled the multitude, said, Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of the Jove descended [image]? These things therefore being indisputable, it is best to be quiet, and do nothing rashly. For you have brought these men here, who are neither temple-robbers nor blasphemers of your goddess. If, therefore, Demetrius and the artisans with him have a charge against any, court days are held, and there are pro-consuls; let them accuse one another. And if you desire any thing of other matters, let it be determined in a lawful assembly. For we are in danger of being called to account for the tumult of to-day, there being no cause by which we can excuse this concourse. And having said these words he dismissed the assembly. AFTER the tumult was allayed, Paul calling the disciples and embracing them departed to go into Macedonia.

AND when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one mind together. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind borne along, and it filled all the house where they were sitting; and there appeared to them divided tongues as of fire, and [one] sat on each one of them; read more.
and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were Jews living at Jerusalem, pious men, of every nation under heaven; and when this sound was [heard], the multitude came together and were astonished, for they each one heard them speaking in his own language. And they were astonished and wondered, saying, Are not all these that speak Galileans? And how do we hear each one in our own language in which we were born, Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who live in Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Lybia about Cyrene, and the Roman strangers, both Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabs, do we hear them speak in our tongues of the great works of God. And they were all astonished and perplexed, saying one to another, What does this mean? But others mocking said, They are full of sweet wine. But Peter standing up with the eleven lifted up his voice and said to them, Men of Judea, and all who live at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and attend to my words. For these are not drunk as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day [9 A.M.], but this is what was said by the prophet; In the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; and upon my male servants and upon my female servants in those days will I pour out of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
