Lesson 4682

 (Lesson 4682)(11-28-24) Acts 19:8-12 

   “And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.” 

 

       In today’s quote, Paul continued his ministry in Ephesus, preaching in the synagogue for three months, boldly proclaiming the kingdom of God. When some Jews became hardened and resisted his message, Paul withdrew from them and began teaching in the school of Tyrannus, where he preached for two years. As a result, all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord. God worked unusual miracles through Paul, including healing the sick and casting out evil spirits. Even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched Paul were used to heal the sick and drive out demons, demonstrating the power of God at work through him. ~
