The word of the Lord spread through the whole region.
But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.
But the word of God continued to spread and flourish.
When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.
And you see and hear how this fellow Paul has convinced and led astray large numbers of people here in Ephesus and in practically the whole province of Asia. He says that gods made by human hands are no gods at all.
So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
