2Díjoles: ¿Habéis recibido el Espíritu Santo después que creísteis? Y ellos le dijeron: Antes ni aun hemos oído si hay Espíritu Santo.
3Entonces dijo: ¿En qué pues sois bautizados? Y ellos dijeron: En el bautismo de Juan.
4Y dijo Pablo: Juan bautizó con bautismo de arrepentimiento, diciendo al pueblo que creyesen en el que había de venir después de él, es á saber, en Jesús el Cristo.
5Oído que hubieron esto, fueron bautizados en el nombre del Señor Jesús.

26Y veis y oís que este Pablo, no solamente en Efeso, sino á muchas gentes de casi toda el Asia, ha apartado con persuasión, diciendo, que no son dioses los que se hacen con las manos.
27Y no solamente hay peligro de que este negocio se nos vuelva en reproche, sino también que el templo de la gran diosa Diana sea estimado en nada, y comience á ser destruída su majestad, la cual honra toda el Asia y el mundo.

29Y la ciudad se llenó de confusión; y unánimes se arrojaron al teatro, arrebatando á Gayo y á Aristarco, Macedonios, compañeros de Pablo.
30Y queriendo Pablo salir al pueblo, los discípulos no le dejaron.
31También algunos de los principales de Asia, que eran sus amigos, enviaron á él rogando que no se presentase en el teatro.
32Y otros gritaban otra cosa; porque la concurrencia estaba confusa, y los más no sabían por qué se habían juntado.
33Y sacaron de entre la multitud á Alejandro, empujándole los Judíos. Entonces Alejandro, pedido silencio con la mano, quería dar razón al pueblo.
34Mas como conocieron que era Judío, fué hecha un voz de todos, que gritaron casi por dos horas: Grande es Diana de los Efesios!
35Entonces el escribano, apaciguado que hubo la gente, dijo: Varones Efesios ¿y quién hay de los hombres que no sepa que la ciudad de los Efesios es honradora de la gran diosa Diana, y de la imagen venida de Júpiter?
36Así que, pues esto no puede ser contradicho, conviene que os apacigüéis, y que nada hagáis temerariamente;
37Pues habéis traído á estos hombres, sin ser sacrílegos ni blasfemadores de vuestra diosa.
38Que si Demetrio y los oficiales que están con él tienen negocio con alguno, audiencias se hacen, y procónsules hay; acúsense los unos á los otros.
39Y si demandáis alguna otra cosa, en legítima asamblea se pueda decidir.
40Porque peligro hay de que seamos argüidos de sedición por hoy, no habiendo ninguna causa por la cual podamos dar razón de este concurso.
41Y habiendo dicho esto, despidió la concurrencia.

a
It is well known that the words in the common text here, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, and" have no sufficient authority, and were evidently inserted by the mistake of some scribe. The words are admirable where God inserts them repeatedly in this book, while here when man added them wrongly, they only mar the connection. All the best MSS. reject the words.
b
The best authorities read "seven churches", and omit "which are in Asia."
