Acts 19:1-7 Paul met disciples who had not been baptized in the name
of Christ, and knew nothing about the Holy Spirit. He baptized them into Christ and laid
their hands upon them.
Acts 19:8-10 Paul taught for two years at Tyrannus' auditorium
"so that all the residents of Asia, both Jews and Geeks, heard the word of the
Lord."
Acts 19:11-12 Paul's miracles healed many.
Acts 19:13-17 The seven sons of Sceva tried to rid a man of an evil
spirit "by the Jesus that Paul preaches". The spirit said "Paul I know and
Jesus I know but who are you?"
Acts 19:17-20 Magicians who were converted destroyed their valuable
but evil books, rather than sell them, because they refused to profit from that which was
wrong.
The results of each of these occurrences was awe and
righteousness within men and praise and strength to the name of the Lord. The miracles and
the response of the people proved to others that the Lord's word was true and awesome.
