Acts Chapter 19 describes Paul's ministry in Ephesus. Initially, Paul baptises and imparts the Holy Spirit to some disciples who only knew John's baptism. He then preaches boldly in the synagogue and a lecture hall, leading to many conversions and remarkable miracles. However, attempts by Jewish exorcists to use Jesus' name backfire dramatically, highlighting the power of authentic faith. The spread of Christianity causes a major disturbance among silversmiths who profit from making idols of the goddess Artemis, culminating in a city-wide riot that is eventually dispersed by a city official.
