Paul’s time in Ephesus comes to an end with trouble, if different from the trouble he usually faced. Some Gentiles, worried about loss of money due to Paul’s preaching, raise a clamor in the Ephesus theater. Paul and his companions are in danger, but the town clerk steps in just in time to prevent serious … Continue reading Acts 19:23-41 (12/8/21 Bible Class)
