019:005 On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus;
019:006 and when Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy.

019:009 But some grew obstinate in unbelief and spoke evil of the new faith before all the congregation. So Paul left them, and, taking with him those who were disciples, held discussions daily in Tyrannus's lecture-hall.

019:011 God also brought about extraordinary miracles through Paul's instrumentality.
019:012 Towels or aprons, for instance, which Paul had handled used to be
carried to the sick, and they recovered from their ailments,
or the evil spirits left them.
019:013 But there were also some wandering Jewish exorcists who undertook
to invoke the name of Jesus over those who had the evil spirits,
saying, "I command you by that Jesus whom Paul preaches."
