- - - - the last apostle of Christ Jesus
      - Apostle Paul's third missionary journey begins in the summer of 53 A.D. By autumn of 54 he finally arrives in Ephesus. Like his extended stays in Syrian Antioch and Corinth, he lives in the city for a significant period (a little more than three years).
  - - - For three months, Paul continued to speak boldly in the Synagogue, "reasoning and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God" (Acts 19:8). The hearts of some were hardened, while others repented and believed. In the end, the Apostle's doctrine was publicly slandered by the Jews before the people. On this he openly separated himself, and withdrew the disciples from the Synagogue. The Christian Church, therefore, at Ephesus became a distinct body, separated both from the Jews and the Gentiles.
      - The fear and conviction at Ephesus seems to have extended beyond those who made a profession of Christianity. A large number of the sorcerers themselves openly renounced the practice which had been so signally condemned by a higher power. They brought together the books that contained their mystic formularies and burnt them before Paul and all the people (Acts 19:19).
    - - while the apostle was in Ephesus that, "God worked special works of power by the hands of Paul" (Acts 19:11, HBFV).
      - These miracles through Paul must have produced a great effect upon the minds of those who practiced curious arts in Ephesus. Among the magicians who were then in this city, in the course of their wanderings through the East, were several Jewish exorcists (Acts 19:13).
      - One specific instance in Ephesus is recorded of those who attempted to cast out evil spirits by the "name of Jesus." Those presuming to have such authority were seven brothers who were the sons of Sceva (Acts 19:14). But the demons, who were subject to Jesus, and by His will subject to those who preached His Gospel, treated with scorn those who used His Name without being converted to His truth. The demons told the brothers, "Jesus I know, and Paul I have knowledge of; but you, who are you?" And straightway the man who was possessed sprang upon them and attacked with such frantic violence that the seven brothers fled wounded and naked (verse 16)!
