Study 37 From The Book of Acts
Is: Acts 19: 1-20
Ephesus was the metropolis
of the large and wealthy Province of Asia, a centre of commerce and religion,
famous for its image and its temple dedicated to the goddess Diana.
- Apollos
had taught only the baptism of John (18:24, 25) at Ephesus. When Paul
arrived, what did he find these disciples lacked in knowledge and assured experience?
Is this experience yours? Have you realized how essential it is for you to
understand fully in order to teach others accurately?
- Verse
20 summarizes both Paul’s ministry at Ephesus and Luke’s whole section
from 16:6 to 19:20, which covers the evangelization of Macedonia, Achia
and Asia. What methods and special incident led to such a result in
Ephesus (verses 8-19) and by what power were great results achieved in the
three provinces? Cf. 16:14; 18:9 and 19:11. Does this review highlight any
weaknesses in your Christian life?
